He's been away at college since September and even though he's been home twice since leaving and we've been to visit him, it still feels weird to have him gone.

To make this layout:

1. Cut a piece of blue polka dot Narratives scalloped paper so that it about 7 inches in so you can overlap it and make it fit onto a piece of 8.5 x 11. Glue down to black cardstock and trim up the side. (Print journaling in lower right corner before mounting on the cardstock).

2. Cut a 2 1/2 piece of white lined scalloped paper and place it 2/3rds of the way down the page and glue.

3. Add photo, a strip of KI striped paper and a strip and tab from the 7 Gypsies Photo sheet.

4. Stamp a square onto white cardstock with the 7 Gypsies stamp. Mount onto a piece of black scalloped Bazzill and add a Hieidi Swapp "M."

5. Place on the strip of white lined paper and add additional stickers and a chipboard U to finish the title.

6. Use MM brads to hold on the felt flowers.

7. Add rubons to photo and a 7 Gypsies label for the date.
