Starting the Cornwall scrapbook


Last year I planned to finish one of our Florida scrapbooks but that never happened. This year I decided to start a Cornwall scrapbook. I had the photos printed and as we should be going again in June to celebrate our Golden Wedding thought I would make a start. 

This is the first page and shows the place we have stayed for the last three years. It was recommended by a friend on Facebook who has been going four times a year for many years. We are so glad we discovered it as it is the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. The owners are so friendly, everything is spotless, the rooms are huge and the bed is very comfortable. 

It is like a home from home. They have just fitted a new kitchen into the one we stay in and that looks lovely.  We have stayed in the same cottage in 2018 and 2020 but in 2019 we stayed in the one upstairs. this was just as lovely but had huge stone stairs up to it which we weren't so keen on climbing at the end of the day. So this year we are back in the downstairs one. They have been converted from cow barns so have really thick walls. 

I used various papers, added some chipboard flowers and circles, a suitcase sticker and made some bunting using a MFT die.  I have another page to share tomorrow.

A lovely page Marianne and a great layout. We both love Cornwall and, of course, it's local holidays for us - we're heading down there for three weeks after Steve retires.
