Holiday in Wales

Been away for a week in Wales and just got back last night!  Unfortunately, the weather was not brilliant but we made the most of it regardless.  Thought I'd post a few photos (and some scrapbook pages) of where we stayed... 


   
 The cottage we stayed in (above)


The farmhouse ajoining the cottage (above)

The kitchen below was my favourite room in the cottage











Some of the residents on the farm (above)

An early morning view from our cottage (above)
I am entering this particular scrapbook page into
where the theme is to include a 'metal' in your card / project
(here I have used 2 metal pins to give the impression of
clipping the photo frames onto the page)


Above is the beach at Mumbles with the outskirts of Swansea in the background.
This particular page was chosen as the 'Featured Scrapbook Page' on the
 Daisy Trail  (Sans Seriff) website on 01.09.10

More photos of Wales...


 The view outside... looking down the valley from the cottage (above)


This is the view we had each morning... it was beautiful (above)


The main house on the farm (above)

The kitchen (below) was full of 'oldy worldy' country charm
and was definitely my favourite room in the cottage


The sitting room (below) had a large mill wheel supported by
an overhead oak beam.  It gave the room character plus a glimpse into
what life was like in the cottage / barn before it was converted...

Meet some of the farm residents (below). 
Considering we were on a farm, it was very quiet at all times


The hens were not afraid to come close and would
often come to meet us when we were sitting outside... 


More photos HERE... hope you enjoy them :D


And another page...


Love playing around with DSA 2... Used some filter effects for this particular page... there are just soooooooooo may features in this computer package that it seems there is always something new to learn... Haven't made a card since I got the programme!!!  Never thought I'd find another hobby that I enjoy as much as paper crafting nor one as addictive but life's full of surprises!

This page was made using odds
and ends from various freebie kits

Enjoying a wee break from doodling and taking some time to enjoy a new hobby.  Above is my latest digital scrapbook page.  If you've never tried digital scrapbooking - I'd encourage you to have a go.  You can download a free Scrapbook programme at Daisy Trail.  There are literally thousands of freebies for digital scrapbooking online and so there's no layout fees unless you want to purchase kits or go for a more advanced scrapbook programme (e.g. DSA 2).   What's more, you can print off most scrapbook freebies and use them on your cards as toppers and background papers, etc... Go on - have a go... however, I must warn you  - it's very addictive!!!   :D

Enjoy...

P.S. You may have to play around with in DSA 2 (or whatever programme you use) to cut and remove the backgrounds and 'windows' where the photos slot but it's well worth the effort as these frames are fab.
