I havent fallen off the earth if you have missed me, I had a little holiday at the beach last week.. We had a lovely time at Coolum on the Sunshine Coast. My parents came with us and for the first time ever we took our dogs. It was wonderful to take our pooches for a walk along the beach each afternoon, good for them, and good for me too to get some exercise.. the beach is a dog friendly one and it is doggie heaven! and so good to watch the dogs and owners play on the beach together..
So that was us last week, home now and trying to catch up with the washing and all that doesn't get done while we were away!!
I did create a layout for the SCRAP THE BOYS CHALLENGE SEPTEMBER before we went on holidays so I had better put it in a blog post before this week disappears quickly too!
It is to create a layout with you and a male in it.. I chose to use a photo of my son and I. I came across this quote too, not sure now where I got it from but I thought it was a good one to use on my layout...
Some closer views.
Lots of stencilling chipboard and dies..
My Son.
