This LO is for a couple of great challenges-
and for
Here is my layout using
ARTFUL DELIGHT June kit mixed with my older supplies-
Love the sketch from ARTFUL DELIGHT.
While doing this layout it brought me to tears, my eldest is now 13
and will be starting high school soon.
It's a mix feeling of sadness that he's growing too fast and also
fear that in only 4 years he will go to college and probably be away from us :(
But i know he's a smart and good kid. Everyday,
we continue to show him how much we love him and continue to guide him to the right path.
Like, i mentioned this one is also for
and i love how i just drop a handful of sequins to the layout
and wherever they fall that's where i glue them.
I hope you enjoy this layout and thank you again for stopping by.
