Play

Still very much in a scrappy space here :) Since Friday I've managed 16 layouts!
It might not sound like much but that's along with the party, sleepover, shopping etc so I'm pretty pleased. :)
One of the challenges over the weekend was to use your most recent purchase. My most recent purchase was a pack of enamel dots and some 3d foam pads so kinda boring. Used both here though :)
The circles are a huge wood vaneer that I painted white. It seemed a shame to just put such a feature embellishment in an album but I couldn't think of anywhere else for it to go! I used some of my fave photos ever of me and Cam though so that made it feel a bit less wasted.
The pictures are from just before Christmas when Caitlin was out with her friend so we took Cam to a new burger resturant that had just opened. I was trying to get a nice photo of the two of us but he kept putting his fingers behind my head to give me bunny ears lol. I loved the photos in the end though, Camerons laughing face and me pretending to be mad. It shows an easiness between us that I know some parents don't have with their kids at this age.
I also included a hand made embellishment for another challenge. I had to use stamps to make something but as I don't own any I made this heart by stamping with wood vaneer and texture paste which I then punched from. The little green stars are made with tiny wood stars covered in misting ink and stamped. I loved the result :)
Love how these challenges are pushing me out of my comfort zone.
