Updated layout

After posting the layout I decided I wasn't quite happy with it (and not the journaling this time). It didn't seem to feel complete to me. I've now added a pink mat to the photos and journaling and feel much happier. The green is more lime green IRL but it isn't showing it properly in the photo :o(. PS> I have stuck the corners down a bit better now too ;o) xx

Spring Layout

As I lay in bed last night thinking about how much I have been enjoying Spring this year, I thought I should make a layout about it. So, after work this morning I made a start and I've just finished it (in between doing the washing and making lunch ;o) ) With hindsight I would have done the journaling a little differently - so that the brads lined up with the gap between the photos - but I'm not going to redo it now. I'm quite happy with the end result and like the "spring" colours used in it.

We've been waiting and wondering when our Cherry tree would start flowering - no more waiting, this weekend the flowers have started opening :o) Aren't they beautiful!

I hope you're enjoying the weekend too!

Enjoying the weather

Can't believe the weather we've been having and making the most of it :) Love that the leaves have started to come on our Acer

Enjoying a braai (barbecue) with Mum and Dad this afternoon. Yummy!

Have a wonderful weekend wherever you may be :)

I've had a fairly productive day today :o). The ironing is done, the house has been tidied and vacuumed and I've even managed to do a scrapbook page. We've still got sunshine (woop!!) and I've been enjoying the flowers in the garden as well as my orchids in the kitchen. This orchid has just started blooming again and I like the way you can see the garden behind it in the photo.

The layout I did is super simple. I used one of Cathy Zielske's designs, from her Design Your Life class, which helped it come together really quickly. (I know a lot of Cathy's templates are available over at Designer Digitals if anyone is interested.) It felt good to get some of the photos from Richard and Henry's time with us on to a layout. More to be done and hopefully sooner rather than later!

I really thought after moving my photos to the external hard drive that my computer would be much quicker - unfortunately that hasn't been the case so far. I think I need to get Jon to have a look at it later to see if there's anything else I should be doing. I know there are some updates to go on but Jon normally checks to see which ones I need and which ones I should ignore. Hopefully it'll be a happier computer soon.

Tonight I should get a chance to watch last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy so it's time for me to move away from the computer now ;o) . Hope you have a good evening too :o)

PS> Just looking at the layout on the blog, the background card is more red in real life - not sure why it's showing up quite brown :o(
