Lovely quiet weekend

We have had a lovely quiet weekend - not doing much apart from some long walks int he freezing cold and a lot of scrapping.

I remember how weekends used to be frantic as we tried to cram everything in in those two precious days. I prefer our chilled weekends.

 

I have new scrapping to share - both paper and digital

I am all caught up on my weekly pages and this is week 4 ... I am loving doing these ... it's a bit like the photo a day that I would then scrap as weekly pages but without the stress of having to take a picture EVERY day. They are not elaborate pages but will just serve as a record for us of 2017. Of no interest to anyone but us really!

 

 and I have a new paper page to share made for a challenge on UKS to make a pocket page. It's a heck of a big stitched pocket to hold the Disneyland map!

 

 

 I had fun printing off the different elements from various scans and kits I had - recolouring where necessary.

 

I cannot believe we didn't get a new copy of the map as we exited the park - I am usually so good at that. The one I have had to use is one we carried round all day and is well loved. Still, I suppose it is authentic!

 

Today I am thankful for

• a lovely, un-rushed weekend
• time - don't ever knock it
• Some awesome new digital kits you will see int he next week or so that I have been working with

 

Fiki is currently experiencing a major Mommy crush ... he is just on me all the time. I love it!  (I think he is cold!)

Hi Karen,look forward to seeing what you have been working on with the new digital kits.I have just made my second digital purchase from the lily pad,- Count your blessings.the first one was ,- Today Tomorrow Always,I saw what you had made with it,and I really liked it! So now I'm getting my pages ready for my next photo book.

Our cat always looks for his cuddles,and kisses from me every morning!
Then each evening,he likes to snuggle down on my lap,when I am trying to use the I pad! He has lots of play time with my hubby,chasing after him and his toys,they have great fun!

I so love your weekly pages. I might be able to do a monthly page--LOL!! Our lives are very very quiet and subtle during the winter--- and actually not much of a change during the warmer months either! LOL!
It would be the same photos over and over and over again--Steve in front of the computer, Barb in front of the computer, naptime, doing the laundry, more nap time, doing dishes, watching tv. How do you find something new to scrap or photograph each week? Do you purposely go out to find something to take a picture of? I'm not much of a cold weather gal, so I'd have to take indoor photos. :-D :-D :-D
