It's been too long since I last made a mini album and for some time now I've been thinking about making an album using corrugated card as I love the texture you can create on top of it - plus it's free!!
The subject of this mini book is my youngest daughter who leaves primary school this summer and starts Lycée or secondary school in september. This is normally a big event for anyone, but this is particularly poignant for me as she's my last one and it marks the end of an era. Even though she's all grown up now and would hate me to say it, she's still my baby and I can't get my head around her starting "big school". This book will be a celebration of this important year and full of memories of friends and days spent just goofing around!
The Wednesday Stampers challenge this week is to create something/anything using the colours of your country's flag. I've chosen to create this first page in red white and blue because of course we are a family of Brits living here in Luxembourg. As it happens those same colours form the Luxembourgish flag too just done in a different way of course. I do often wonder what nationality my youngest considers herself as out of the three girls, she is the one born here. They've all been through the local school system and do feel more Luxembourgish than English most of the time but for the one actually born here that feeling must be stronger.
Anyway, as I finish pages I'll show you and good luck to all those newbie students out there, what an adventure!
