Months ago I started with creating a photo book for my son Joshua, using  the wonderful products from ScrapFX Australia. Sometimes it makes me sad to see how time has passed so fast. Today he is 22 years old and studies in Australia at the Bond University near Brisbane/ Gold Coast. I am so happy for him... and the experience there will make him grow.

I used from Scrap FX: Waifs transparency Fancy Feather stamps Round & Round stamp Art Nouveau Crescent chipboard Number Set 1 chipboard Girlfriends chipboard (only that word friends) I also used: ...
