All the years that people have raved about how gorgeous Scotland is and I've listened patiently, but inside I've thought 'hmmm, but it's cold and wet!' What a mistake! This year I've made two trips north, one to my great friend Max and one on a coach trip and on both occasions I've been absolutely blown away by the fabulous scenery and the friendly people too. Naturally Max and her family are top of the list when it comes to great people.
Last week I went on a five day coach trip to Strathpeffer. It was brilliant and I took loads of photos. Yes Max this time I not only took my camera, but actually remembered to use it too! Having said that my first page about my trip actually uses one of the postcards I bought while away. I thought this one with the coach suspended at the top of one of the peaks was really funny.
I created the page in Serif Craft Artist and after measuring my postcard I left a white rectangle on the page so that the post card could be added after printing. The tartan paper is from Crafty Ann's Digi Shop. I just love the way you can transport a backing paper into Craft Artist and then using the dropper tool make other items on the page match. I used the dropper tool to match the textured lilac backing paper with the tartan and then teamed the ribbon up with the thistle. Such a clever programme.
My scrapbook page is also for the following challenges...
- Rainbow Lady - Take a town, country or city break. (what a great challenge!)
- Pile it on - Time to Travel
Well, 3 more days till I'm back at work. I might even be able to fit some more challenges in this week. Need to do some birthday cards and fast too as it's my daughter's birthday on Wednesday. Eeek better make a start.
Have a fabulous day everyone.

Love your scrapbook page Ann. Scotland is one of my favourite places and we are going again in July. Emily said to her dad, all the times we have been to Scotland and we still haven't seen Loch Ness so he has only gone and booked us a cottage with the Loch at the bottom of the garden!! Can't wait, binoculars are on stand by to spot Nessie. -x-
