September scrapping

So no blogging from me for all of July and August.... there has been lots happening with summer holidays, work, illness, lots of catching up with family and spending most spare moments with my parents.  My dad's health is getting worse everyday so time really is precious at the moment.

Which brings us to September a season of new starts, a return to school and definitely more scrapping....

This week on UKS we were asked to scrap and journal about a team or group and use 6 of one element.



I have included the second photo just to show that I have really done the journalling and I used both sides of the tag!  This is the judo group from DS's junior school...seems ages ago now especially as he has been unable to do any physical exercise for such a long time.

I took inspiration for this page from the sketch at Scrap 365 which is very similar to the sketch that Miniowner/Sue made for this month too....check them out and see what I mean!
