Summer wedding!

Well we have had a lovely weekend which started with going to a wedding in Sheffield Registry Office.  Alex wasn't too impressed at being made to dress up smart, but we struck a deal. If he behaved himself and was smart for the wedding he would be allowed to play in the fountains in the peace gardens afterwards!

The service was lovely and the bride and groom looked so happy and proud. They had their official photos taken in front of the fountains in the peace gardens which proved far too much of a temptation for Alex...

...within minutes he was soaked and very very happy, running through the fountains and generally having a great time.  Yes, I was prepared and had a towel and change of clothes in my bag!

It has become a Saturday tradition for me to make a card for the Less is More challenge blog.  This time the challenge was to use the colours of your national flag, in my case I am British so I used red, white and blue.  I also couldn't resist the idea of doing a 'time for tea' card as that is so quintessentially British! I hope that Mandi and Chrissie will forgive the little bit of pale green on the leaves as I couldn't bring myself to have blue leaves on the flowers! Everything else is coloured in shades of blue and red including the writing. The tea pot image is a digi stamp from Stitchy Bear and so this card also fits with Stamp somethings 'digi' and Fresh Brewed 'hot' (well tea is usually served hot!) challenges as well.

I have also made a scrapbook layout following this weeks Sketchy Thursday sketch.  I used photos of Alex at the nativity service and church and titled it 'The nativity, an alternate story'...the journalling reads 'Mary looked somewhat startled when an unknown shepher clutching a grubby white teddy came and carefully tucked Baby Jesus in the straw and arranged his presents. She graciously allowed him to share her chair - maybe she thought he would make a more caring father than Joseph who looked bored by the whole proceedings!'. As the theme of this layout is Christmas I am also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp and Paper Play 'Christmas in August' challenges. That is all from me for now.  Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Caro
