DT... Design Team... any which way... I just love saying it!

Okay, so it's my first design team. I'm still getting used to the idea. But I LOVE it! Enmarc has gorgeous products and I get to play with them every month.
I received my first 2 batches of goodies last week. What a whopper! I completed my first layout tonight using 4 items and I hardly made a dent in my February stash.
This photo was taken when Karla and I made a little road trip to McGregor on one of our Robertson weekends. We had a little photo shoot in the lovely garden of one of the art galleries. The angle of the photo is a bit strange. When Karla saw it she complained that “I made her feet look big”

I used the following Enmarc products:
Deco frame: Elegant flourish
Swirls & flourishes: Heart of wings (small)
Plain embellishment set: Hearts (blue heart)
Jumbo page essentials: Mama's Lace (swirl)

First Day of School

My baby girl started “big school” this year. I can't believe how fast the time is going now. She turned 7 yesterday and I kept thinking to myself how it feels like only yesterday that I dropped her off at crêchè, a 4-month old little bundle, and sobbed all the way home. Now I'm so used to dropping her off in the morning that I was hardly bothered on the first day of Grade 1. Yes, it was a big moment... but the separation anxiety doesn't get to me anymore.

This layout was made using mostly Simple Stories paper. How I love Simple Stories and wish that I could find more of it here. I want it ALL! And of course some Enmarc design elements, e.g. the 1st Day of School chippie, coloured with watercolour pencils and the Butterfly Swirl, inked with green moss distress ink and then painted with white craft paint.

Here she is: my DD on her first day of school.
