I'm not a scrapper BUT I've made a LO :)

Hi sweeties!

First of all - I'm not a scrapper in the word of making layouts...

But with that said, I took a class in March this year, held by Trine Hansen, where I made 2 LO's...

It was fun, but I haven't made any more since then - until now :)

Last weekend when I was at the craft crop event in Ski, there was a competition,

to make a single page LO with a minimum of 3 pictures, 

 5 different fonts in the text, and handwriting.

I thought it was a fun way to challenge myself, and decided to give it a try :)

I was soooooo surprised, humble and happy, when I actually won the competition!!!!

This is a layout with pictures of my nephew Benjamin and myself, taken 5 years ago, when Benjamin was a newborn. I don't usually like pictures of myself, but this is a picture that I really love :)

The text says something like this:

In your auntes embrace you'll always feel safe

The handwriting is lots of words, that recounts my feelings and thoughts related to this picture.

A special thanks to my friend Maya, who helped me come up with the title, and to all of you who woted for my LO at the competition in Ski - thank you so much!
