Just a simple layout of my mom out to lunch. Sometimes the simple ones are so satisfying! I’ve been wanting to try this Heidi Swap Old School collection for a while, and I don’t have a huge amount, so doing this simple design makes me happy, as I have more left to play with! I instantly thought of this paper when I saw this month’s Stick It Down sketch.

I also submitted this to the Paper Issues November 2020 The Ties That Bind challenge.
