Back From Holiday and Clustering!

I am back from my holiday to South Africa to see my wonderful family!  It was a fantastic month but just waaaay to short.  You would think that a month would be a really long holiday but it is amazing just how fast that time goes especially when you are with lots of different family and trying to fit lots of things in.   We always have a list of things to do and never manage to do all of them!  But it is now back to the real world and back to finding out my poor little car had to be scrapped because once they removed all the outer damage they found the subframe was cracked :(  But at least the other guys insurance has accepted full liability so we don't have to be fighting all of that.

This layout was for an assignment for Bo Bunny that went up just before we left but I just didn't get time to put it up on my blog.  But it does give me a quick and easy blog post to put up while getting everything sorted now that we are back and while trying to get back into the swing of things!  I came back to the most awesome box of the new Bo Bunny ranges, they are all gorgeous and the new blossoms ranges are to die for, but I have not been able to get near any of it yet.  I can't wait! :) But I digress this assignment was about clustering and this was the layout I did....

My best tip for clustering would have to be to use foam tape on some of your items giving different heights which adds depth and then of course I think overlapping is always important!

I also included the measurements to cut out the sun rays and this will give you two sets :)

It was Kieran's 12th birthday yesterday!   I just can't believe how big he is getting!  He is almost as tall as me and although I am not really tall or anything I am in no way short, he is definitely taking after my side of the family!  Here he is on Sunday with his birthday cake when we had a little braai/barbeque with the family to celebrate.

 Happy Birthday sweet boy!
