Summer Sun

After all the rain we have had this year it was lovely to have some sunny weather and like a lot of people we wanted to make the most of it.  The first week of the holidays we went to Benthall Hall which is near Munch Wenlock in Shropshire.  The House did not open until the afternoon and before our picnic lunch we went to Wenlock Priory.  The ruins are so lovely and the Priory must have been a wonderful sight all those years ago when it was built.  

Here are  few pictures:

I am really happy how these photos have come out and I could not wait to scrap them.  When I saw this months challenge over at Once Upon  Sketch was the seasons, I knew the exact photos to use and the story I wanted to tell.  As per usual Liam and Freya were messing around and when I asked them to stop Liam just told me they were having fun in the sun while it was here.  Well who am I to argue!

This is my LO:

Made with Studio Calico Memoir papers, October Afternoon buttons and brads from my stash.   I am also entering this LO in to the challenge at the Child's Play Challenge blog where the challenge was to take inspiration from a beach ball.  I have used lots of circles on this LO with the PP plus brads and buttons.

Thanks for looking and lets hope we have another week of summer sun.

Girls v Boys

These photos were taken earlier this month at Liam and Freya's joint birthday party; a game of bowling then a meal at pizza hut.  Their birthdays are only 7 weeks apart and I have done this in the past as well.  So much easier, 1 party, 1 lot of stress!

This LO was made using a mix of Amy Tangerine and AC Shoreline.  This LO is made with this sketch from Once Upon A Sketch on the theme of friends.  I am also entering the LO in to SJ Crafts Challenge which is to scrap using an olympic scheme.  I have choosen to take inspiration from the olympic rings by using red, blue, yellow, green and black and lots of circles.
