I’ve scrapped!

After being poorly for so long it was lovely to get out yesterday and actually do some scrapping.

Tamsyn and I spent a very pleasant afternoon in Jenny’s workshop at Jendenink and here’s the page I did. This is one of my favourite pictures of Sophia, taken last Christmas. I bought the patterned papers and the Hero Arts bunting stamp at Jendenink.

PS Jan and Jackie – get well soon!
