Play date...again!

Hi Scrappers,

Well, the school holidays are almost over - hope you've managed to stay sane throughout them. My oldest boy is about to start Kindy next week so I'm bracing myself for his first day. Apparently there will be tissues available for the parents in the school hall, although I do sometimes wonder if that's for the tears of relief because we get a break at long last! Oops - am I really that bad a Mum?

Anyway, moving on - here's my Play Date Cafe card for this week. The colour combo was:


In other words - slate, bark, moss and burlap. Now I'm still not 100% sure what burlap is - in some pics it looks like a very pale pink, in others a kind of natural, creamy hue. I went for the cream -


I used some Cosmo Cricket papers with a Studio Calico mask and some Mister Huey's mist. Talk about being organized - it's not actually hubbie's birthday until October. Maybe I should marry someone else in the meantime....

Happy scrapping everyone and thanks for stopping by,

Cheers,
Claire x

    Ah, Kinder... mine will be going to preschool after being home tor almost 3 years. We've never been separated before. *sniff* Anyway, good luck with yours.

    And I'm absolutely loving your card. It's so hard for me to make my creations look manly or boyish. I always end up with too many flowers or something. Yours though, is awesome!

    You wrapped the twine in such a neat way, Claire! And this kind of layout is a great way to use up skinny paper scraps. Cool idea!

    Thanks a bunch for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe this week!
