New windows

I'm starting to love using white cardstock as background for layouts. I love the simplicity of this layout - I like the picture of Kay enjoying the sun and the look of our new windows. And I actually like how the page work with just the simple brackets as accents. Sometimes less is more!

Materials:

• Cardstock: Club Scrap Steppin' Out
• Patterned paper: Basic Grey Sublime
• Font: AL Script Hand and Ancient script

  Our old windows were annoying. Both because the wood at the bottom was starting to rot and because the door didn't shut completely so cold wind was blowing in all winter. If you sat in Kayleigh's couch with the back against the door, you could feel a cold draft all the time - very unpleasant. So we decided to get new windows from floor to ceiling, with a new door that can stand open in all angles, with new windows in each end of the room etc. Nice, cool windows. They were installed in week 14 from Tuesday to Friday (with Peter taking care of Kayleigh from Tuesday to Thursday) and we all love them. Kayleigh love all the extra sun shining into the sun as you can see in the picture - and Peder and I love the new door and the fact that it's not drafty anymore - and that the view got better, now we can actually see when a bird is jumping around on the porch, as one did just the other day ... So all in all we're happy - and we ought to be, because the total end up being about 50.000,- (incl. a new radiator)!

  Vores gamle vinduer var trælse. Dels var de ved at rådne op i træet forneden – dels var døren bare så utæt at det har blæst ind med kold luft hele vinteren. Hvis man sad i Kayleighs sofa med ryggen mod døren, kunne man bare hele tiden mærke en kold vind i nakken – meget ubehageligt. Så vi besluttede at skifte dem ud med nye vinduer fra gulv til loft, med en ny dør med mulighed for at stå åben i alle vinkler fra en lille sprække til helt åben, med mulighed for at åbne vinduer i hver ende etc. Lækre, fine vinduer. De blev installeret i uge 14 fra tirsdag til fredag (hvor Peter passede Kayleigh tirsdag-torsdag) og vi er alle vilde med dem. Kayleigh elsker fx at der kommer meget mere sol ind, om man kan se på billedet – og Peder og jeg er vilde med den nye dør og at det ikke trækker – og også at udsigten er blevet bedre, nu kan vi faktisk se det, når der hopper en solsort rundt på terrassen, som der gjorde lige den anden dag … Så alt i alt er vi alle glade – og det skulle vi også gerne være, for totalen ender med at blive næsten 50.000,- (inkl. ny radiator)!
