Conwy Castle

Mornin' y'all, and Scrappy Monday!  The temperatures here in Colorado dropped over 20 degrees over the weekend and I am LOVING the fall nip in the air : )  (Hubs is obviously whining that summer is over but tough luck for him!)  We had some blustery weather and gray skies over the weekend so I picked a scrapbook layout that matches:


This was one of the last couple of castles we visited on a week-long road trip through Wales in 2014 just before we left England.  Conwy Castle is one of the larger ones we visited and it is smack dab in the middle of town.  I absolutely loved visiting Wales and wish that we hadn't left it to the very last of our time in the UK; we got a Wales Explorer pass to visit all the castles and historical sites but we didn't do things like go to Snowdonia.  The hubs said all the castles kinda blended together by the end, but that's not surprising considering that several of the ones we saw were commissioned by Edward I in his campaign to crush the Welsh so they share a lot of design features.


Anyway, today's more subdued color palette is Blue Bayou (kickin' it old skool with a very retro In Color!), Perfect Plum, and Wild Wasabi.  I managed to squeeze in 10 pictures, some patterned paper, title and journaling blocks and a stamped accent.  Pretty good for two 12x12 pages.

Cheers, y'all!
