Scrapbook Page #4

I know I haven't been as good with posting lately as I normally am. I apologize for this and hope to have some more posts coming up. The last couple of weeks have been a little stressful as my husband and I have just bought our first house. This is way more stressful that I had anticipated especially since it was a bit of a spur of the moment decision! In my house-buying frenzy I realized that I posted my scrapbook page #5 before #4 so here is page #4.

This page is of my daughter with her first degree. We have been going to UBC and doing studies for the infant development and cognitive development labs and this was her first one (she is a post-doc now according to her degrees).

For the background I found a retired SU! paper with numbers on it, they colours are pretty close to Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze so that is what I used. The stars are made with the new star punches, I love that there are 2 that you can layer. Something to keep in mind too is that you can run the cardstock through the printer for your journaling, that is what I did with the Kiwi Kiss piece at the top. I'm not a fan of my handwriting so I'm always looking for new ways to journal without actually having to write anything.

We ended up getting a house in Delta. It will be a bit of a commute for me but we are still close to my husband's work. And I will have a craft room - how exciting is that!
