FIRST BIG ADVENTURE FOR 2012

One of my goals and bucket list items is about to become a reality! I am off to America on 15th July - to attend CHA in Chicago, then join my beautiful American scrapping friends (we have spoken online for 8 years) for a 5 day retreat! Then fly to Texas for a road trip (hopefully also purchase some bright red cowgirl boots) and share a fish fry up with a special family !! Then flying home the beginning of August! I am so excited, as the last few years healthwise in the Jackman household have defnitely "MADE US ALL STRONGER" healthwise! Remember we can all make our goals and aspirations become a reality - just taking the first step is the key!! Love Marelle
Just updating some new layouts : I love this one of Ella - just wait until she sees it scrapped - she loves to take silly photos on my iphone and I just love this one!!
the next one is a layout I was testing backgrounds on lol - paint, Crafters Workshop stencil, Ranger Butterscotch ink and washi tape, Purple Pumpkin button,
and finally for today this one -
I used Authentic paper, various alphas, washi tape, circles from Ebony, Charms heavenly heart, twin, Amy tangerine sketchbook papers Thanks for visiting my little blog xxMarelle
