back to school

I usually do a little bit of scrapping or designing every day, but last week I decided to give myself some time off and just make the most of the last few days of the summer holidays before my baby started “big” school for the first time – sob! I was fighting back the tears in the playground as she marched off to class smiling and waving goodbye, my big brave grown up girl. Here she is in all her schoolgirl glory (I have to say that this page is rather messy, even for me – I think I had to cram a fortnight’s worth of element explosion into one layout. When I showed it to hubby he said, “Blimey, that’s a mess”. Nice.)

    I love your layout! There is a lot going on, but it works. I really enjoy your style and am always inspired by your work. I also happen to think your doodles are fantastic…I’m a big fan (obviously!!).

    Great first day layout. Glad she had a great time, and that you survived :)

    I have some of my first day pics on my blog (and one of my LO’s using your stuff, but it isn’t a back to school layout – I am not there yet!)

    I know how you feel! My girl will be in Grade 1 next school year and that means I don’t have a little baby anymore! *sob*

    Love your page though and I can’t wait for Tuesday! :)
