Oh dear!

Poor Alex isn't having the best of weeks. His cough is still bad, he isn't sleeping well and yesterday for the first time in his life he fainted, bumping and slightly grazing his head on the floor where he landed.  Having spoken to the GP we have been advised that it isn't likely to be anything serious, but to keep an eye on him and bring him straight back if it happens again. I am praying that the one off incidence is the end of it, especially as he has been his usual happy self today.

I am still on a mission to catch up with my scrapbooking having got months behind and having ordered a pile of lovely photos to add to layouts, so here is my latest layout which followed the righthand half of this weeks Pencil Lines double page sketch. I used 2 different Basic Grey papers behind the photos and cut out the trains from another one. In order to get the train stamp to go in opposite directions I ran my brayer over the wet stamp and then onto the card to give the reverse image...this was a new technique for me and I am quite pleased with how it worked! I am entering this layout into the Spoon Full of Sugar's  and Penny's 'anything goes' challenges and into MTTC 'toy box' challenge as the train embellishments I used look like toy steam trains to me! I am also entering this into the Scrap Fit challenge of 'stand by your man'...in my case, my little man!  One of my childhood memories from the late 70s is sunny weekend days on the South Somerset steam railway, so I am entering this scrapbook layout to the Delicious doodles 'let the sun shine', Stampavie's 'summer'  and Try it on Tuesday's '70s' challenges. That is all from me for now.  Have a great weekend everyone.
Love,
Caro
