Inspiration this week came from one of Petra Corcoran’s recent blog posts – you can read it here. Petra is one of Becky Higgins’ 2013 Creative Team and one of their challenges was to go back to basics. I loved Petra’s pages and decided to challenge myself for this week.
I took some aqua cards from the Seafoam core kit, some Studio Calico grid cards, some aqua thickers and the inevitable wood veneer (have I mentioned how much I love wood veneer?).
I really like how it turned out. The Seafoam kit is still a favourite for me. Just a little journalling missing from that last card – the reason for celebrations staying a secret for just a while longer (and for those ever hopeful friends – this means you Melanie W – no more babies on the way!).
A brief departure from the keep it simple theme for the Union Jack bling – I couldn’t let booking my first trip home in 6 years go by without some kind of celebration!
I will be sharing this post as usual over at The Mom CreativeΒ for Project Life Tuesday. Click over there for more inspiration and PL blogs.

I love it! And like you, I have a HUGE love for the wood veneers, are they not addictive?! I love how you challenged yourself and it came out amazing!

Sarah, I just love your spread. π I must say that what really made me go back here for inspiration is the fact that you don’t need to dish out all kinds of stuff about your private life, every corner of your house, personal struggles, etc. to grab our attention. Just pure crafting. love love love. π
