Pleasure

It's been a nice and peaceful weekend and the rain has finally stopped and the sun is shining today. So much so that I've had to pull the blind down in here.
Feels really sinful to do that, but I can't see my pc screen otherwise.



I've had a LO in the making all weekend.
I haven't had much time to scrap so a few minutes grabbed here and there, this has been made.
I used the colorcombo from The Color Room.
I love this challenge site and haven't joined in for such a long time.

We've been thinking about Florida lots this week. This time last year we were there.
Happy memories, very happy memories. We all long to go back.
I scrapped these photos when we popped by to Disneys Pleasure Island. Lots of fun shops and reasturants. Nice just for a wander. Louis loved the big lego store, we spent a small fortune in the Disney store and the kids played with the largest amount of Mr Potato Heads I've ever seen.



One thing I find when I use a colour combo as inspiration, I often tend to raid my older papers. I pick a selection of papers and embellishments with mists and sprays, line them up on my desk and just create with what's infront of me. This way of scrapping seems to really suit me.
I used up some old Prima and Making Memories 'Noteworthy' here.
Also thrown in...pink netting, mists, acrylic paints and some stitching.



I hope you had a lovely weekend and feel fit and ready for this new week ahead.

Another week ahead.
Nothing major planned.
The sun is shining.
Work is busy this week.
And I'm still feeling very happy about getting together with such great friends at the weekend. Good friends are worth their weight in gold aren't they?!!

I managed to scrap a fair bit at Sue's. Amongst some DT projects, I joined in with The Color Room this week. I always intend to join in, but don't manage it as often as I would like. Here's this weeks colour pallete.



So here's my LO. My negative child. As often as he makes me laugh, he makes me roll my eyes. Here we go again. ''I've had the worst day ever''....''This is the worst meal I've ever eaten''.....''I hate school''.....or today quite chirpy...''I'm not going to school today Mummy''.
So quite chirpily back I just answered ''Ok, that's fine. That's a shame though as you won't be able to tell Oliver that you can't go to his party''.
I try not to react and just reply as upbeat as possible. Every now and then reminding him of all the good things.

I've used the Restoration Collection from Crate Paper. It arrived at the end of last week and I LOVE it. I can see me needing more of this.
I handcut these leaves, 'ruffed' up the edges with scissors, inked and then hand stitched the centres.



The background was made by laying a die cut sheet over part of the page and spray misting quite lightly.
Once the page was finished I splattered it with some Tattered Angels Sunflower glimmer mist.
