I'm finally back in blog land...lol, and back from my o/s trip for 2 weeks now.
We had the most amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed every little bit of Ireland...both Republic & Northern Ireland. And hopefully one day I will get around to sharing some photos here on my blog (it may be a while though & I'm not promising anything....as I haven't had time as yet to sort through the 6.5 thousand photos photos that I took :-/ ). I've been a little tied up since getting home doing some family history...buriel/cemetery research to be exact, and it's still ongoing at the moment.
BUT, I have scrapped!!!
I'ts been a while (probably 7 weeks or more) since I last scrapped, and I must say, that I did feel a little green! So I've kept this one fairly simple...also because I'm time poor atm as well.
So anyways....here it is, for Scrap Africa sketch No. 23...
And here is this months sketch...I just love the background strips on this one :)
And a few close ups....
A mixture of Manor House, Green Tara & TSS mulberry paper flowers, as well as some diecut leaves & A Greatest View flair button
Another small cluster
Some added lace for a bit of texture
And my journaling about the McKee clock in my dad's home town.
Soooo that's it from me for now....I do plan, & hope, to visit everyone's blog over the coming week - fingers crossed I don't get too distracted with this family history research.
Until next time...take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend! xx

Hi Linda... it is great to have you back and I had such a good time looking at the photos you posted on FB...6.5 that is an impressive amount of photos :D This will be a wonderful way to record some of your travels too... It does get a little overwhelming sometimes when you have so many photos to pick from :D I think for someone who feels a little green you jumped right in like a pro. This is beautiful. The tape stips are perfect in colour for your pics. How wonderful to be able to trace history too. Makes it all worthwhile. Looking forward to seeing many layouts of your travels. Welcome home :D
