Needless to say I had a very busy weekend but it was wonderful!! My little brother Aaron tied the knot on Saturday with Leann- they are pictured above with the wedding party. The wedding took place at a park in Bala, ON- and with the lake and the leaves turning the setting was beautiful!!

On top of all that- this was also the weekend for my fall retreat that I run with my friend Audrey. (Yep- I left to attend the wedding and returned after the reception)- despite being a few hours short I still got lots of stuff done including this layout of my son, Austin, on Canada Day this year. He was relaxing on the blanket watching the fireworks and looked so grown up and casual!

To get in all the pictures of Austin for this layout I used my flip flap memory protectors and made this little book for part of the layout- I added tabs on each photo using the ‘Just for Boys’ stamp set. I also used some chipboard die-cuts which qualifies this layout for the Practical Scrappers challenge this week!!

Until we craft again, The Brae-er
