In the first few weeks after finishing up on Scrappin' Patch, I didn't go near my scrapping, really. And then in the 4th week, I did 3 layouts! Pretty good for me. Since then, I haven't had much time, but more on that later. Right, here are the pages I did:
This was for the Prima Build-A-Page (monthly sketch) - I figured I love Prima stuff, so I may as well try to win some! Well, I didn't win, lol. I like this page, I love the colours and the photo of my gorgeous girl.
Then there was this page, which I did for the Websters July monthly challenge - birthdays. These photos were taken as Aurelia saw her new 4th birthday present - a trampoline - for the first time. I just love her face, she can't quite believe what she is seeing! This page is ok, I wasn't completely happy with it, but never mind. I like how I pleated the vellum, though; it looks pretty cool and I'll definitely do that again.
And finally:
this page, which I did for Heidi's sketch challenge over at Scrappin' Patch. As I said over there, this page has the dubious honour of being my quickest page ever! It's a bit of a sticker sneeze, but overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It took me about two and a half hours, from choosing the photo to photographing and posting it in the gallery. Phew! For those of you who know me, you'll know how fast that is for me!! It's about how I love the way Aurelia loves me... I love how affectionate and loving she is. And it's one of the few photos of us together, which is nice. I don't usually like getting in front of the camera... but then, that's not unusual for us scrappers, is it?
One of the things I have been busy doing lately, is planning Aurelia's 5th birthday party. Yes, my baby is turning five and deserting me to go to school. Can you tell I am a little upset about it? I just can't believe it. What am I going to do with her in school EVERY day? Ok, so we'll have the weekends, and I'm sure I'll manage to find stuff to do, lol. But, I am just so terrified that my baby is growing up so fast. I feel so sad every time I think about it. I know, I shouldn't be sad, but I am. It's just me. So anyway, this is what the invites look like:
and yes, she wanted a pirate party. We are having a pirate and his pirate ship coming to the party on Saturday, so please keep your fingers and toes crossed for nice weather!!! Friday is her actual birthday, and her last day at pre-school - hmmm, wanna take bets on if I'm gonna cry?? I'm such a sap.
Right, that about covers it for now. I promise my next post will be not too far away - I have to post photos from the party, anyway. And I know, I promised that I would post about my plans for the future, but I'm not in the right head-space for that right now. Hopefully soon. Have a good weekend, everyone!

The layouts are beautiful! I know I've said it lots of times, but your little girl is very photogenic :-)
Don't worry if you cry on the last day of Kindy; I did when Ethan left! And I cried on his first day of school (he was fine though, go figure). My 'baby' starts school in October and I know I will be a MESS!
Have a great party on Saturday, it sounds like a lot of fun. Look forward to seeing the photos :-) Oh, and I will say a prayer for fine weather!
cannot wai tto catch up on Saturday!! i am busy planning the cake and enjoying being creative in a different way! Gorgeous layouts as usual!!!
love ya xxx
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the forever layout but then again i find all of your layout simpley stunning and a reall inspiration! Good luck with the party and look forward to seeing some pirate pics! :)
Such gorgeous work Tracy. Now don't cry where the teacher's can see you - it's damn hard taking the birthday mat time with Mum on the sidelines crying - makes you cry too and then all the kids want to know why the teacher's crying...lol. Hope your beautiful girl has the most wonderful party.
oh tracy! going to school is scary good luck (for you more so than Aurelia!)
