FATHER'S DAY

Maybe if I had studied the calendar properly, I would have gone to Scotland THIS weekend to see my dad...but I like to think he wasn't too bothered  about the date... and was just glad to see me! In all honesty if I HAD waited till this weekend, neither the weather nor his general health would have allowed us to do as much as we did last weekend.

 In the heat of yesterday afternoon, I decided it would be a good idea to stay indoors and scrap...the fact that it's FATHER'S DAY in the UK inspired me to scrap the pictures I took last weekend ....and I knew I wanted to play along with this month's challenge at  SCRAP AROUND THE WORLD:
 


Here's what I came up with:



The spotty paper is more teal IRL!


I love this die cut I found in the online SILHOUETTE library!

If your dad is with you today- enjoy! If, for whatever reason, your dad isn't with you...think happy thoughts and remember the good times

Thanks for dropping by! 
Take care of you
Alison xx

    Lovely soft and gentle colour scheme and you have chevrons and polka dots. What more could you want! I'm sure your Dad was happy to see whatever the day :o)
