Soggy but surprising weekend

First the page,  I had intended to follow a L/O but sort of didn't!   I wanted to use my new templates, those I got from the craft fair, and to scrap the photo of my niece and new fiance.  Once I'd chosen the colours and card,  I made the scalloped frame using the template,   wanting to keep things simple I chose one of the glass butterfly's, but it seemed to get a bit lost on the page, so I recoloured it using my pro markers,   had the idea of a butterfly trail so used some small pink buttons,  the heart was made using the steppers (from pinflair),   recoloured some ric rac just to make the frame stand out,  added the lettering, and used the Love Is stamp.   It still felt as something was missing, so added some glitter dots to the frame,  very pleased with it. 

Yesterday I got cracking on finishing a bookatrix card for a friend,  that too came together somehow,   but forgot to take any photos, so must remember to do so tomorrow. 

Other bonus was being at home to see some tennis, but did get worried when Murray turned his ankle,  but he finished the match,  fingers crossed it isn't too serious.   It was a bonus as I should have been somewhere else,  at a wedding, but mum wasn't very well and said she wasn't up to going.   She had a minor tummy upset,  a morning in bed and she was feeling better.   Was glad to see that the weather cheered up  yesterday,  just at the right time for the happy couple.    Weather forecast for next week says it will get warmer,  good, cos it has been freezing!  

Not sure about new neighbour, so far we've had an early morning (4.30 a.m.) blast of music,  some late night noise,  then today she was screaming at someone.  I'll give her a bit more time,  but it this carries on then I am going to complain.     This is a nice street so we don't want any trouble,  and she is alledgedly a junkie,  which the council don't tolerate,  they boot them out toot sweet, which is as it should be. 

Hope you are enjoying the bank holiday weekend.
