Discovering Clifton Park!

Alex and I have had a fantastic weekend, having discovered Clifton Park in Rotherham for the first time.  There is a great mixture of things to do there, from the climbing frames and slides,

to the sandpit and paddling pool,

alongside the fantastic fountains

and great little rides including the jumping jack

dodgem cars (he was a lousy driver!)

the boat ride, and of course the rollercoaster (I had to go on with him, hence no photos). 

We went there both days to enjoy the sunshine patches inbetween the clouds and had a wonderful time.

Crafting wise I had time to make this card for Less is Mores 'use only 3 stamps' challenge.  My three stamps were the compass (Darkroom door), train (StampsAway) and greetings (from a mixed bag of unknown origin!). I masked the central area and used teabag distress inks to colour it, and used teabag and vintage photo distress inks for the stamps.  I am also entering this card into Stampavie 'monochrome' (all shades of brown), Delightful challenges 'distressing' (I hope this counts!), All sorts 'card for man' and Pixie Dust 'for the boys'.

I also made this scrapbook layout of my birthday...as I don't usually feature in my layouts, this was a challenge!  I followed Nuts about Sketches #212, and this also fits with Crafty Creations 'frame it', Simon Says Stamp 'sweet tooth', CCT 'food or drink', and SCSC 'I love you Mum' (as my son really does love me!). I'm sorry that I can't remember where the papers came from as they were scraps left over from a previous project. That is all from me for now.  Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Caro
