Well, I've had another very industrious couple of days! I've been working on the week 3 challenge & games for the Dixie Pieces contest. I love the whole process - the challenge gives me food for thought & having a deadline forces me to get my act together & get moving (I may have mentioned before that my scrapping style is unhurried!!) So I have been thoroughly enjoying myself, albeit not getting to bed till 4.30am on Thursday morning because I was so 'into' what I was creating (Lee was away overnight anyway so no way would I have settled to sleep)!!
So here is what I came up with for week 3's challenge 'Textures of Summer'
I love the feeling of walking barefoot on grass in summer, so that was my obvious choice! Nathan & I posed for Alex to take this photo of our feet, which was great fun as we toppled over a couple of times!
The colour scheme was light blue, grey & cherry, and I just had to include a little green in a LO about grass!! The required technique was doodling & I think I must still be in the zone from weeks 1 & 2 because I also included machine stitching & hand cutting!
The spiral journalling reads "Nothing feels more like summer than being able to walk barefoot and feel the damp coolness of the lush green grass beneath our feet"
I took part in a doodling class on-line earlier this year so it was nice to put into practice all the tips I had picked up there!
There have been some fun games to take part in in this contest - 'Let's write a story' is LOL funny - everyone taking part just adds another few words & it gets sillier & sillier! It reminds me of playing 'consequences' at school!!
There is a game of word Bingo going on, so far I've not had a single one of my words come up!!
The last mini challenge was to use up your scraps from this weeks LO to make up to three greetings cards. Now I used to make every card I sent, but got fed up with giving away the results of all my hard work, only for it to end up in someone else's recycling bin!! So I haven't made a card in a while, but I enjoyed putting together these three for up coming birthday celebrations!
Finally, I had a lovely evening & an unexpected treat when my friend Donna called round to ask me to the cinema.
We both sat munching popcorn & slurping Diet Coke & laughing out loud to a fabulously funny film - 'The Proposal' starring Sandra Bullock, who I think is sooo talented & sooo pretty, & Ryan Reynolds, who is just gorgeous!!
On the way home I picked up a fish & chip supper for me & mine, after which Lee & I settled down to watch a double 'end of season' episode of The Mentalist. A good evening all round!!
Tonight, I am out for a 'mini' girls night out - just 3 of us - so we're going for an Indian - we can't normally do this as half of our little group don't like spicy food! So, although we'll miss the rest of our merry band, we will really enjoy our curry!!!

Love, love, love your LO!!! You put so much detail into this one! Great job! Your cards are adorable. But I know what you mean about all the hard work ending up in the trash bin. LOL!
I saw "The Proposal" a few weeks ago and sooo enjoyed it! Such a cute movie. I'm sure I will be buying that one when it is released on DVD. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xoxo L
