back to summer!

Good morning lovelies! I hope you are well and happy! I'm feeling good but starting to feel a little tired - there's so much to do for Christmas isn't there - and so much extra happening too! Still onwards I plod! My daughters inform me there are only 18 sleeps until Christmas! They have a countdown going! Fabulous! We're off to try and find Santa Claus somewhere today - not sure where yet - I'd like to go to the usual Clapham Caves but Lucy seems to think the walk is just too far! Lol!!!!

I have a layout to share with you today - the challenge this month over at WOW powders is family - well I couldn't think of too much else to do that wasn't a layout - I did say I was tired!!! Anyway - here it is!

All of the photographs are from last years holiday to Cornwall - I'm way behind with my scrapbooking!!! I'm not even sure I got my photographs printed from this year! How awful is that!!!  All of the stamps are from Sheena Douglass - I used versamark and black Opaque wow powders and hear set. The writing has been done with a versa pen in the same way. The paper is some coordinations paper - the stamps/embossing didn't work as clearly on this textured paper but I really liked the effect - looks kinda shabby to me and I thought I would keep it that way!

I'd like to enter this LO into the family challenge over at wowembossingpowderWOW powders.

Thanks for joining me today - and for any comments you choose to leave. I hope you survived the storms and have got through the aftermath! Big Hugs from me!
