Hello Everyone,
Well, I missed yesterday altogether so I've now really excelled in how late I can be to WOYWW. I'm sure it's a world record. I so intended to be there this week too but Wednesday was over before I knew it. However, never let it be said I'm not determined and here's my desk as of yesterday morning.
Just another scrap page part done. Shades of mint. It's a monochrome layout - one of the requirements for the last week of the MTS summer challenge. I've been enjoying searching through stash looking for anything and everything that is in whatever colour I've chosen for each page. Very therapeutic. I'd quite forgotten all the sheets of lovely patterned paper I've been squirreling away forever!
The finished page. The photo was taken on a trip to the Lake District, to Lake Windermere. It reminds me of romantic adventures in Arthur Ransome's '
Swallows and Amazons'. It also reminds me of the time when, on a whim, we decided to set off very early one Saturday morning and drive down to Windermere just for a day out. To quote from
Miranda, 'such fun'.
And that's it from me today. No book bit - I'm still enjoying those I mentioned last week. As ever, I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone over at The Stamping Ground.
Have a great week wherever you are.

That's a really beautiful layout Elizabeth, I love the soft tones and how wonderful that you used up stash too! Those days of driving somewhere just for fun seem harder in these crazy times but it will happen again. I don't care that you're late btw, it's just lively to see you on the desks. Thank you for the cross stitch pointer as well, I'm off to investigate.

Hi Elizabeth, I like it when I can enlarge the photos ! I spotted a cute turtle toward the window and so many fun things for crafting. Your finished page is really swet, love the colors and I always love things near the water. Have a great week Stay Safe.
I love this layout, that soft mint colour goes so well with the colours in the photo - perfect colour match! Great to see you, even if you missed Wednesday! Helen #16
Hi Elizabeth, I agree with Helen, I love the layout and the colour. Mint is definitely a soothing colour. I do miss drives to the Lake District, or Wales - but it will make it so much more special when we can do it again. Have a lovely week, take care xx #14
What a beautiful page, Elizabeth. I love the subtle monochrome colour and the understated pattern on the background paper. Lovely Lake District photo too. My hubby loves Swallows and Amazons! My sister used to read them all when we were children but I never got into it. We used to have lovely holidays in the Lakes when I was growing up, so your picture brought back some memories.
Happy belated WOYWW,
