All shining brightly

Yesterday we bought a new light for the kitchen - maybe not quite the solution we wanted ... in an ideal world we would have liked downlighters set into the ceiling butt he thought of having the floor up in the spare room and en suite (above the kitchen) was not appealing ... and Nigel fitted it today and wow. Having lived with a single bulb pendant light for the past 21 years which means in several areas of the kitchen, including the sink, you are in your own light, this is so much better. In fact it is a little too bright for eating and we eat at the table in the kitchen most days and so Nigel is also going to fit a dimmer switch - good and bright for preparation and clear up, nice and subtle for eating.

In the past few days we have spruced up the kitchen a treat. Just everywhere else to do now. In fairness it is just paintwork to touch up so not too bad. The rest of the house was decorated to within an inch of its life over the past 7 years.

I have new scrapping to share today made for a UKS challenge and using my bargain back of Bo Bunny I treated myself to.

The lovely map paper already has the wheel and the Diesel corner piece so it was perfect for the topic of Radiator Springs.

I slit the steering wheel so the picture slotted in underneath it (though I later covered that up so it was a little pointless). I used a bright yellow mount to pick up on the bright yellow pump and also mounted the journalling block and some of the embellishments on the same colour.

The big sign that forms the title was also a Bo Bunny piece but it had different writing int he middle so I covered it with a strip of white and then added cut out letters. On reflection I could have printed it but heck - you live and learn.

Most of the embellishments were from various digital kits that I printed out and cut out.

It was a fun page to complete.

I have also done a mess of digital scrapping as I have another photobook to make and am trying to complete the right number of pages before my pre-purchased credits run out.
