I am so pleased that it is almost weekend, and that Friday is just around the corner!
I have finished my OUAS layout, but admittedly it took me a few days! I am happy with how it turned out, but a few elements were giving me grey hairs! I am still not sure about 1 or 2 elements, but overall, I think it turned out okay! Do you sometimes have layouts like that?
Anyways, here's the sketch.
Here's my version.
I used Little Yellow Bicycle "Saturdays" papers and accents. The chippies are Celebr8 and Design Worx and the chippie alpha's are Enmarc. The flowers are Petaloo.
I did some Gesso work and stamping on the background, and also used Gesso on the ladder and fence for texture, with Enmarc Dazzles.
Here are some close-ups.
This one shows a close-up of my journalling.
The journalling says: Weekends are for swimming, lying by the pool and generally spending time outside. We often go to Oumie and Oupie and swim and then lie in the sun! The dogs join us and we have a whale of a time. This photo is exactly that - You lying next to the pool at Oumie and Oupie!
I love this photo of my son, he cannot get enough of the pool in summer, and so most weekends are spent very close to the pool and in the garden! This is what summer weekends are about - SUN, SWIM, RELAX!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you have a super evening!
