Lastly, I wanted to post some pictures of this layout I made yesterday evening. This is the first scrap layout I have made in ages - I've been too busy with so many other things!
In March I joined in Shimelle's Something from almost Nothing course, but only managed to make some essential greetings cards. This layout has made a bit more of a dent in my scrap stash!
A layout to celebrate my huge package, which arrived on 24th March.
