Living Life to the Fullest

Good morning all.
We had a lovely happy family lunch yesterday...good food, good company and lots of laughter.

Sharing a card made to give my son today as he leaves on his trip to New Zealand, I've tucked it into his back pack so hopefully he'll find it before he comes home again! He flies out of Edinburgh at 6.30pm this evening for Heathrow with an onward overnight flight to Hong Kong and then onwards to Auckland arriving late morning on Wednesday local time.....about 28 hours travelling in total if everything is on time! I don't envy him the journey but I do envy the trip!


Created in Craft Artist using Full Life from Simple Girl Scraps along with sentiments from Word Art World by Jennifer. After printing I've layered onto black card and used a kraft card as a base.


This is the digital version which will be used in his scrapbook.


And the insert.
Writing the card after I made it on Friday opened the floodgates, goodness knows what I'll be like this afternoon.

  17. Your card is wonderful. I love the sentiments you used.
    It is an adventure and he is travelling a long way to take this adventure. Your card shows your love for him shining through.
    You are allowed to shed a few tears...you will miss him but sype and the computer make missing him a little more bearable.

    My daughter spent months of this year and last in Monaco. I missed her like crazy...but she is home now thank goodness and hopefully stays home for a bit!

  18. Very thoughtful thing to do for your son, he will love it (when he finds it) :O)! It is very stressful when these kids go off on an adventure with out their mum isn't it. The good thing is it turns out fine and they come a little more mature than when they left!
    hugs
