Don't know if I pushed the boundaries with that one, but got the layout done....and that's good. Did some tricky stuff to it like leaving the knots on the top instead of hiding them - I think it suits my style more; with the smaller photos I've hand drawn frames with the thick Zig pen and cut them out - no more doodling needed. The only thing that let me down is the new smaller Zig pen - not black enough!!! Disappointed. But LOVE the Rhonna Farrer stamps - can use them everywhere!!EXCELLENT NEWS....
Got the enrolment forms to AEIOU for Rainer this week. Had a little cry and then jumped for joy, then had another little cry, then phoned Michael who was between appointments and was trying NOT to cry. Everyone happy - of course but the paperwork is phenomenal. Need to copy all his reports AGAIN!! But small pain for real BIG gain. I'm busting with excitement but tired at the same time.
Off to the Brisbane Paper Crafts Festival tomorrow. Maxing out my time with Zina and I'm all packed and ready to scrap. Can't wait.
BE STRONG....

This will be a fantastic opportunity for Rainer, and I do understand the emotion that comes with it. But he will benefit from it so much:)
ReplyDeleteLove your layout and yes it does bring so much warmth to the layout with that colour. I love showing the knots in stitching too, it looks great!
Hope you had a great day at the Paper Fest
Have a great week and take care

Oooh gorgeous LO Giovanna! Love the colours (or lack of iykwim).
ReplyDeleteA huge Congrats for Rainer getting into AEIOU. I haven't had anything to do with them - haven't needed to I guess - but I'm sure they're fantastic and it's the best thing you can do for him. You're so lucky to have him there as it's so important to do the treatment NOW!
PMSL at the photo of him with the cereal, hilarious!!! ;)
I'm here if you need to talk!
