Happy Monday!

Is it even possible to have those 2 words in the same sentence? YES! (If its a long weekend and your husband has 2 of your 3 kids on a long bikeride and your baby is sleeping that is).


I finished this layout a few moments ago. I kept the embellishments to a minimum and did some cut-out work (my newest, favourite technique) at the bottom.

To create your own 'screw' brads simply draw a line down the middle of a regular brad with a journaling pen and voila!
