We have made the most of the (mostly) nice weather this weekend by spending much of it outside. Alex helped me to weed the garden (and doesn't he look fetching in his hat!!).
Yesterday we went to Western Park where we played with swords and ran through the autumn leaves. Sorry the photo is a little blurred...Alex was running so fast it was hard to catch him on camera.
This afternoon we went to our local park where Alex decided the sun was so bright he needed to wear his sunglasses,
even in the tunnel slide!
I have also had a good time crafting this weekend. I made some trading cards for a Halloween swap that is running on CM&PC forum. I don't have a single Halloween image so had to think outside the box a little and use the black cat on a sunset sky with tree leaves and draw in some spiders in black pen. I think they probably work OK so these ATCs fit with the
CCC 'scary creatures' (spiders),
Creative craft 'trick or treat',
Stamp something 'halloween' and
CCT 'bugs' challenges.
I also made some clean and simple cards this weekend using a brayer and Adirondack inks and some Penny Black stamps. These fit with the
Lots to do theme as to all my cards this weekend.
This little cat card also fits with the
OCC challenge to use at least three different embellishments. I used two ribbons, one flower, one pearl and five gems so I think that it counts!
This final card fits with the
MTTC national flag colours. The English flag is the St Georges cross which is red and white hence the use of these colours...I also added a little black so I hope it still counts!
Finally I made a scrapbook layout following this weeks
Sketchy Thursday sketch. The layout is entitled ' Big Boy bed' and uses Basic Gray and Bazzil embellishments and cardstocks. The journalling reads 'Alex was so excited about having a 'big boy bed' and was especially happy when he realised that Daddy could come in too! The games and giggles were wonderful to see and hear!'. I look forward to reading your comments. Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Caro
