ScrapChat - September

I'm having a fabulous time at the moment, getting back into my scrapping groove. Doing my usual kind of thing (and then some) after having worked on my girlfriend's baby album for so long is refreshing. No more KISS for the time being!! This latest layout is for the September challenge over at ScrapChat. The challenge criteria were:

Colours - aqua, olive green, teal and brown
Design requirement - vintage style
Something extra - hidden journaling
