Well I have to say, along with everyone else, that I simply cannot believe the weather we are having at the moment. The last few days have been boiling hot and we have been back in shorts and T-shirt which makes such a pleasant change. This has meant that yesterday Alex and I were able to meet up with friends in the park and have a great time charging round.
Alex had so much fun he did not want to come home!
Today Alex and I tried a new church, actually the one that is nearest to us, and it was wonderful! We both enjoyed it so I think it is safe to say that we will try and make it a regular occurrence. The weather has been slightly cooler again today, but it is safe to say that we enjoyed getting out to Abbeydale Industrial hamlet where they were holding a steam fayre. Alex really enjoyed having a go at the wood turning and going into every building looking at the different machinery, especially the huge water driven bellows which were working
I think his favourite part was being allowed to sit on the traction engine seat. For me, well I am happy anywhere near steam so I had a great time too!
Crafting wise the
Less Is More challenge for this week is 'make the colour of your eyes prominent on your card'. My eyes are blue (ranging from a vibrant bright blue in sunlight to a paler blue indoors) so we have all shades of blue on this card.
My other card is a Christmas card which is scraplifted from Sandi's card as part of this weeks
CCCB challenge. It also fits with
Ooh La La 'punches and dies' and
Meljen's 'squares and circles' challenges.
Finally I have made a scrapbook layout using inspiration from
SIWAS challenge of Brian Adams 'Heaven'. The line I chose was 'Young and wild and free' so the title of my page is 'Bounce wild & Free'. The journalling reads ' Alex had a wonderful time on the bungee trying to bounce as high as birds fly and pretending he was spiderman' hence the images I chose to use on this layout. This layout also fits with
Pixie Dust 'book or movie' (Spiderman), and
stamp, scrap and doodle 'Anything but a card'. Once again my apologies for the quality of the photos...I am hoping that my new computer will arrive this week, but that remains to be seen! Have a good week everyone.
Love,
Caro
