Up, Up and Away

Just down the road from us is a field where lots of hot air balloons take off over the Summer. It's a great sight (even though we're pretty blase about it after so many years). However, some times, when they don't quite catch the thermals, things can get pretty hairy with them barely skimming the trees in the garden or even the roof of our house.

There are all sorts of brightly coloured and patterned balloons so I thought I would create a fun page to match.

Sunshine Days

It must surely have been the hottest day of the year so far, though thankfully for the village carnival, the clouds helped make the afternoon out on the field more bearable for everyone. Well everyone that went (eg all the family except myself). I was on taxi duty taking my mum to Derby train station so she can go off on another little jaunt (this time to Leeds). Five minutes onto the bypass and we came to a standstill. For an hour. First train missed and only got there with minutes to spare for the one an hour later. Excrutiatingly hot in the car. Even so we were grateful to be in the traffic jam rather than be the cause of it.

Rabbits got out of the run again today (did I mention the fun we had the other night in the dark trying to find them after they got out?) This time Mia opened it up to stroke them and, quick as a flash, they hopped their way out again. Luckily Len managed to get them back pretty quickly.

I've played with the Libby Weifenbach digital goodies again today. Some photos of Mia enjoying the pool on one of the hot days we have endured enjoyed so far this year.

Digi Delights

Kristine Davidson over at Creative Scrappers gave a shout out to the team to find out who wanted to play with some digi yumminess by Libby Weifenbach. Now I have dabbled with digi in the past and have to say that I should do more of it - I love that I can be creative without either having to (a) tidy up my mess of a desk following a paper crafting session or (b) get my nice clean desk all messy again after I have spent ages tidying up after a paper crafting session! Yep, love paper crafting, tidying is another matter!

Anyhow, I digress ... Libby's stuff is found over at Sweet Shoppe Designs (already in my digi faves folder). I originally chose just a couple of kits to play with, but after contemplating, perusing and contemplating some more, I added some other goodies into the mix, including lots of different clipping templates. As a not too experienced digi scrapper these are hugely helpful in creating fun pages by giving a quick and easy way to add shapes and layers to your projects.

It's past bedtime now, but I can't wait to get back and play with some more of the goodies I got.
