Stuck?! Sketches! DT 1st July - Today is a happy day

Welcome back to my blog today where I'm sharing a DT page for
Brrrr! it's Winter here in Australia and getting crisp at night, but the days are glorious with pots of pansies smiling in the sunshine on the back verandah.
I hope you will feel inspired to join in and be eligible for one of the lovely prizes.
Still stash busting in my craft room, I chose some ancient WeRMemory Keepers green paper for the border.  By gutting the middle, I had enough to make the title too.
 The background paper, is from Jillibean Soup, Chit Chit Chowder.
The Charms embellishments are delightful to work with.  I chose an X and an O - they just happen to be the initials of these two kidlets, but they work equally well as a kiss and a hug, 
which luckily they still allow from Grandparents.
The flairs are from A piece of cake design.  The puffy stars are from Freckled Fawn 
and the enamel dots are from Teresa Collins.

The journalling is on the back and it reads:-

When you came for a sleepover in the holidays, I had a few inside things planned in case it rained all day, which it did.  So we made corner book marks, quite a few in fact, because you all wanted what the others had made.  We had dogs, cats, koalas and lions, all jostling for position on the craft table.  You enjoy using the scissors, the glue and the punches to make the googly eyes.  Some of you are organised and put your completed projects on the traymobile near the front door and others get distracted by the next project and then there is a great kerfuffle at home time when your things are missing in action.
