Hello everyone, hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I would like to share a layout I did for Melissa Cook's Kraft Inspiration challenge at Challenge Masters, I used this photo of Amber (right) and myself as I wanted to document how courageous she is, she was 5 months pregnant with twins and was not having an easy pregnancy, lost her home in the floods, had her 5yr old daughter starting prep, a son who was in trauma with the happennings around him with the floods and a husband to boot, oh and a guinea pig, dog, and budgie......Throughout all of the surrounding tradgedy she had a smile on her face and always spoke positively and I just found her so inspirational....what a rock she was for her family.....so courageous. If you would like to check out the challenges at Challenge Masters click HERE.
Nate had the camera last night and whilst I was trying to scrap he was taking photos all by himself and all the while saying "Kiss me Mum" I think he did an awesome job too.
Hope all is well wherever you are, off to do some more blog hopping and hopefully start another layout. Love Melxx
