Man, it's been raining all week here. Or at least it feels like it has! Blech!
Tonight, it is pouring rain, just like it's been for the past 24 hours or so. I thought we'd be stuck heading out to soccer in the rain, but the city closed all the fields in an effort to keep them from turning into mud. So the boys watched Star Wars with their dad, and I scrapped. :)
I was going to put the white mat onto a piece of red and white patterned paper, but I'm glad I tried this one instead. The different coloured dots pull the colour portion of the main photo right off the page, so my eye is drawn to the title and then to the three boys on the ferris wheel. I said to Mike that this is my favourite page I've made in months and months. It's simple, tells a story (albeit not a particularly entertaining one, oh well) and uses some of my favourite American Crafts supplies (Typo chipboard Thickers, Slick Writer pen for the doodled frame and patterned paper from the Travel line).

So yesterday was my last day of work for a while... I thought I'd have a hard time letting go of the stuff going on at work, but apparently I did not. When I woke up this morning, my thoughts turned immediately to my To Do at Home list... not my never-ending, work-related To Do list. :P
I don't know how much I'll be blogging during my holidays. I'm going to make an effort to limit my internet time and spend some good quality time with my friends and family.
Oh, who am I kidding?! I'll post a bit here and there from time to time. I always do. :P
Love the way you dotted the border on the white cardstock. So subtle but absolutely pulled it together!

Enjoy your vacation. Are you going anywhere? (just wondering if I'll bump into you at the airport like last year! LOL!)
LOVE the polka dot paper!
