Morning my scrappy friends =) Hope everyone has had a fabulous weekend. I have a couple of layouts to share that I created over the weekend. The first is for My Creative Sketches. It is a photo taken on Saturday of Hubbie & I on a bush walk. I really wanted to do a bright and fun layout to kind of lift the mood a little! DH has just been made redundant after working for a company for over 10 years along with 300+ other people. He has gone off to work this morning as just one of two remaining employees. I can't imagine two people just rattling around in a huge building. So life for us is in limbo at the moment. He works in a fairly specialized finance field so how easy it will be to get another job, we don't know yet. Or if we will have to move interstate, if we will have to downsize our house + all my business plans for the next 6 months are hanging on what will happen with his work. So basically, I just wanted to do a layout about 'no matter what happens we still have each other'!
Some hidden journalling
And this is one I did for the sketch challenge at Handmade By Suzanne. It kind of a took off in another direction for the sketch though. Has happened a lot lately lol. My hidden journalling for this one reads..'From the time you were first able to talk I have been able to have whole conversation with you when you sleep. This week...
G -"Mitch, time to get up"
M - "I Can't!"
G - "Why?"
M - "I am making a new colony"
G - "Really.."
M - "We are called the Rubber Duckies"
G - "I see"
M - "Quack!"
And no I won't let him live this down anytime soon lol!
Have an awesome week girls! TFL xox
Again you have Created Brilliantly...

ReplyDeleteI love both layouts, so much meaning behind each one. I especially love the one of the sleepy one, the colours look great as do the embellishments.
ReplyDeleteOh I am sorry to hear about your Hubbys work, I do hope a new door will open when this one shuts... and your layouts are totally amazing.. really amazing.. the layers, the photos, and I had to laugh about the story behind your son talking in his sleep.. how funny... but scrapped fabulously!!
