Simple Pleasures

Hi all

I have one page to share with you today that is inspired by 2 challenges; Firstly Nadia from Once Upon A Sketch provided awesome sketch:


 And her journaling theme this time is 'Anything goes'.

Secondly, I was inspired by this moodboard from Berry71bleu which is for moths of May about 'Simple Pleasures'


And my page is:









The photo is a selfie of me and my husband at one very hot day in our back garden. Proper hot days in Ireland are very rare and even if we have odd one it wouldn't be for weekend, so this simple pleasure for us was like a luxury and has to be remembered. The journaling in the corner is about that moment.





Materials used:
Papers: 7 Dot Studio, stamps, bling, flowers, mechanicals, bling, canvas and mists all by Prima, archival and distress inks by Ranger, washi  tape by Queen and Co.
Thant would be all for today, thank you for your visit and any comments.

  4. I had a giggle at your story. I have spent a lot of time in Ireland. My brother lives in Kilkenny and my uncle lives in Mitchellstown so I try and see them every year. I have yet to experience a hot day there. My brother tells me when you get a good one it is a good one. :) I love that selfie it is a really nice one :) I also really love your layout and the movement you have created down the page. The colours are perfect for an Irish summers day I think and I love the layering. Fave for me. Thanks for playing along with us at OUAS this month :D

    1. Thanks Val, I giggled at your comment too, by ‘hot’ in Ireland we mean sunny and temperature about 16C or more, I don’t think you would consider 16 C as hot day, LOL.
