We have had a lovely weekend at home this weekend. Yesterday I finished tidying the garage and sorted most of the entryway. Which means we now have room to move some of the things out of the study to make that tidier which will be a huge relief. In the afternoon Alex and I went to Crookesmoore Park where he had a great time scooting, climbing and swinging.
Today I had the bizarre experience of shopping with a very hyper excited Batman! It was a shame I didn't get a photo, but he had a great time going round the supermarket in his cape and mask. He remained like that for the whole day including our trip to Whirlow Farm Fayre this afternoon; a great time was had by all despite the intense rain shower that absolutely soaked me!
Sadly the rainbow was too faint for the camera to pick up, but this was the amazing contrast of dark looming sky, with the sun shining on the tree, wall and grass as the rain stopped....if I hadn't taken the photo myself I wouldn't have believed the colour contrasts...amazing!
This weekend
Less is More are holding their first ever 'Anything goes' challange where they are trying to reach 1000 entries in a week! As a result I decided to make a few more Christmas cards. For the first time I experimented with using a nestability to make an embossed shape rather than cutting. I was really pleased with it - Quick, easy and effective, just what I like. This first one I am also entering into
SCSC and
Speedy the Cat's Friends 'one layer card' challenges.
I also made this one which I am entering into
Meljen's 'Paper Piercing' and
DYSU 'silver' challenges.
Finally I made a scrapbook layout to fit with this weeks
Sketchy Thursdays and
ScrapFits double challenge 'Sketch and Friendship'. I used various scraps of paper for this layout and added appropriate words round the main photo. Sorry about the lighting on this one. That is it from me for now. Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Caro
