Hiking in Wales

I've completed a few layouts and cards in the past few days so look for a few posts from me.  And with tomorrow being a holiday here in the states, fingers crossed, I can do even more (before the BBQs, soccer match, and fireworks)

These photos are from northern Wales where my in-laws live.  It is an absolutely beautiful country, even if it does rain quite a bit and is just a tad cooler than Texas - ha ha.  It is so peaceful and just raw, natural beauty (with a few ancient ruins thrown in)!  We flew over for Christmas a while back and to our shock, Christmas day was GORGEOUS!  Warm (relatively), sunny (shocking) - just perfect for a hike up a hill (large hill but I can't think of any words for something larger than a hill but smaller than a mountain) while dinner was cooking.

The layout is based on a sketch from the July Sketch challenge at Sketches4All.  Defintiely check out the site - lots of challenges each month including a Bingo challenge I am hosting this month.

    Love the way you have incorporated so much texture without making it so lumpy it won't fit in an album - like I usually do!
