Mid-Week Scrapping

I've been away for a lovely few days with my BFF and after getting home last night had an extra day off today to spend with my Other Half. It's been so hot though we decided not to go anywhere and so I got some midweek scrappy time which is unheard of.
I created a second LO with my Counterfeit kit using the second sketch from Stuck?! which will be my title page for pages of a holiday to Cornwall in 2007 - the whole week was dominated by a seagull who used to tap on our chalet door regularly, hence the photo. 
I used the colour palette from the first July challenge at The Studio Challenges

 My Title is the negative from using individual die cutting letters and backing with patterned paper. The word search banner is inspired by challenge three at Counterfeit Kit - Played in the Shade (word games). I used tiny letter stamps and then drew round the words I'd stamped in orange pen.
 I then made some more little pinwheels as inspired by forgeries on the fourth also at CKC.

The Scrap Our Stash book inspired challenge is to use this book cover as inspiration - obviously my page is about a place I've visited, but there is also a couple of die cut scribbled circles inspired by the spirals.

The challenge also asks us to use 5 patterned papers and a round embellishment.  I used the following papers - 1.Floral and 2. Navy dot from Shimelle True Stories, 3. Waves from Fancy Pants 'Making Waves', 4. orange/black dots from DCWV and 5th orange/red dots has been used to die cut the paper tab embellishments, one of which also counts as a round embellishment.  It's been lovely to have some extra crafting time, thanks for stopping by....Esther xx
