I had promised my daughter last year that I would do her an album of her University experiences, well the ones we can talk about lol. But unfortunately I never got started so here I am today. Be gentle, this is the first page I have done in ages and am a bit out of kilter. I used the lovely scrapmap from Creative Craft World as my incentive. The photo is of Searlait on the day she was leaving home. The back kitchen was stuff to the gills with all the stuff she wanted to bring including lot of food to keep her going till she got her bearings. It was such a sad day and her little face (which was trying to be brave) says it all:(
Papers are from Laura Ashley, (sorry I went with the grey now) red paper from my stash, the sticky ribbons I have had for over a year or more. The lovely loopy flower is from Laurie:) matched perfectly. I punched some leaves out of newsprint and made some heart diecuts. Hopefully this is the first of many.

Hi Pinky, This is brilliant:) Sandra H
wow how super ... well done happy crafting and love sandy xx
I think it's wonderful and I love that loopy little flower embellishment...I remember sobbing when my youngest niece moved out to go this past September. Time moves far too quickly! I'm so behind on my own photos, and it is one of my new years resolutions this year. My fingers are crossed I can follow through :)
Pinky don't be sorry you used the grey its just perfect. I remember the day mine went off - it didn't get easier each time more like harder!
Love your layout and what a fab memento
Hugs Laurie xx

Lovely layout, what a fab photo for memories as well...
Had to hop over to see this after your comment. I hope to see many more pages. Lovely lo and those leaves punched from newspaper work so well. Love the nearts too and great memory pic.
Hello Pinky,
You know I reckon the grey bp is reflective of the mood - subconsciously even so maybe its a good one to keep as then you will see the colours change as her uni life continues?!
Seeing boxes of food, packed and ready to go, brings back so very many happy memories of the times ive done this too! That and shoes for DD1!
I have to giggle at your comment about sharing what you can talk about as it is such a worry for us Mums when theyre out of sight! Meanwhile, of course, they are having the times of their lives!!
Look forward to seeing the next instalment!
