Anyway, I digress...between making the obligatory cups of tea, doing a bit of gardening myself, enough housework to appease my conscience and a little bit of sitting in the sun listening to a book....I managed to start (and finish!) this layout......

.......based (loosely, I admit) on this 'Sketch to Scrapbook' page of SHIMELLE'S

I have heard rumours that Spring may be arriving in the UK.....I'm hopeful that this is true, as I'm heading back there on Wednesday! Hoping you have all had a good weekend
Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

I love all the little additions,Alison...it looks great.
ReplyDeleteAnd the rumours may be right...we've had a perfect Spring day today...light rain this morning....followed by a warm,sunny afternoon.
Lovely layout Alison :). We've also had a touch of Spring, just hoping it's not a one day wonder x

ReplyDeleteLove the layout Alison and yes we had the warmest day this year so far today.
ReplyDeleteThe sun has definitely been shinning today. Great page Alison and a perfect title x
ReplyDeleteHi Alison - Lovely page - really like the b & w chevrons! Yes, it does seem like spring is well on its way!! x
ReplyDeleteI like your page a lot, especially how you interpreted Shimelle's sketch!! (and I really like how you combine all your different letter stickers!)
ReplyDeleteThis is super pretty with the delicate patterns and soft shades :). The chevrons are great for pulling the eye across the page - I like your interpretation of the sketch. And good luck with the travelling; yup, temperatures are on the rise but bring a cardie!
ReplyDeleteI agree - it's a really pretty page!
ReplyDeleteAnd I want a Man Friday, but I want one who is dark and sultry and really handsome, too! In my fantasy world, his name is Raul. I notice that you don't mention what yours looks like.

I like the layers in those horizontal lines you've used.
ReplyDeleteYep spring was here in London - potted up seedlings and planted seeds. Definitely hoping it stays warm :)
The looseness of the page elements is what makes it shine - brilliant layout!
ReplyDeletelovely page of your family Allison and yes it actually felt like Spring today (hurray!)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely layout, the soft colours are great with the photos. x
ReplyDeleteIt's not just a rumour! Spring is here - 2 days in a row - yay!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that layout Alison, it's so fresh and pretty.
Don't you love the self talk of working through a little housework to then allow for a LOT of scrapping ... or whatever else?!
ReplyDeleteLovely layout Alison :)
Just seen Rinda's comment - ha, she crackes me up! Yep a Man Friday sounds good to me too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layout Alison! Love the. Clean look!! Have a wonderful time in the UK - lucky lady!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely page Alison! Great take on Shimelle's sketch. I love the borders round the edge. Yep, I'd like a Man friday too:)
ReplyDeleteWhere does one find a Man Friday? I'd like one too... maybe the twin of Rinda's??? Lovely layout -- I think your interpretation was actually superior to the sketch!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous family page, Alison!! ~ Blessings, Tracey

That's a lovely take on the sketch..softer than the original. I like it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic layouts, Alison! Here's hoping for better weather this time around in the UK! ;o)
ReplyDeleteWe hired someone a month or two ago to clean our blinds, wash the windows inside and out, and clean the dryer vent. After years and years of "do-it-yourself," I felt like queen for the day. Best of all, my clothes now dry in about the same amount of time as it takes for another load to wash. I'm thinking I'll be having him back on an annual basis!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to find someone to do our windows! You'd think it would be really easy wouldn't you?! Lovely page, very clean and elegant.
ReplyDeleteI totally see the sketch in there! Love it! And I agree, spring needs to come to the UK AND NEW YORK! We had an ice storm Friday. I think that is rude of the weather when it was officially spring a month ago. Talk about being LATE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely layout - I like the combination of the color & the black & white photos.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Alison. I hope you have good traveling weather.
ReplyDeleteSshhhh don't say it too loud, you may frighten spring away lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous layout, looks like you enjoyed creating this
Lovely page.
ReplyDeleteenough housework to appease my conscience ... a woman after my own heart. Have a good trip.
