It's Friday and Stockholm has once again woken up to a glorious summers day. Hubbs and I had brekkie out on our balcony, could hear our city waking up and then the garbage truck spoiled everything with its roar and emptying of the re-cycling container with glass. Well, that's life in the city. Me thinks my darling and I will spend the day out on the Djurgården island, it is the equivalence of Hyde Park in London, the green lush lungs of our city.
First a couple of photos showing you why Stockholm was awarded with the European Green Capital Award; we can actually fish just outside the Royal Palace and eat the catch, the water is also so clean that we can swim in the town centre. Not bad huh!
Friday also means release time over at TCR, we've come to palette # 121 and the last week of The ScrapCake's sponsor month. Once again the DT has been provided with delish papers to play with. Everything on my page is from their newest collection called Sweet Childhood. Absolutely divine colours and really such sweet sweet fussy-cuttable details!
So here's my page; "Sunshine Girl". I have kind of followed Lydell's sketch but my photos are square and the round shapes have been moved down the page.
You have seen me scrap this cutie pie before, Miss M.
Can you believe it, I have used only 3 (!) itty bitty Prima blooms on my page!
The additional 4th colour of choice that I have used, is mint.
I also used a bitty stamp with cross stitching from Marianne Design.
I'm bidding you a Happy Weekend with a sneak of the next CSI case file that will be released this evening US eastern time/midnightish European time/Saturday morning Australian time.
It's the last week of Echo Park's sponsorship month so I am going to share a page based on one of their collections.
Happy Friday and have a splendido weekend! Mwah to ya all beautiful ladies!

ReplyDeleteOg så må jeg si, Stockholm var en fantastisk flott by!! Elsket alle de grønne "lungene" midt i byen, små parker, åpne plasser, hyggelige mennesker og ikke minst, fint vær :D (vi har jo stort sett regnet bort her på Østlandet i Norge i år).
Kommer gjerne tilbake til byen din altså, nå som vi har blitt skikkelig kjent med trikk, pendlertog, t-bane og buss LOL
Herlig layout igjen fra deg, elsket banneret med tall og hvordan du har bygget opp lag på lag!
Ha en flott dag på Djurgården og en fin helg!
