Its been an awful week here with a gastro bug laying the 2 males down low. Poor Josef was so upset he couldn't participate in his school sports day. With all the news about the low water levels and the negative effect the dairy farmers are having on our environment we have banned drinking tap water here until we get a filter/purifier installed. Ive been buying water and its not a cheap option but since we have been drinking bottled water both Jess and I have noticed we don't have queasy tummies anymore. Call me paranoid but we are just so sick of being sick! So if anyone else has a filter/purifier I'd love to know what you think of it and the ongoing costs if any.On the scrapping front - its been pretty quiet - Ive been just to tired to scrap, to many sleepless nights make Julie a grumpy toad. So I was pretty pleased last night to find the energy and inspiration to whip up this layout of a Friday night challenge that was based on Ali Edwards use of patterned papers. Hands up those who like me have a teeny tiny issue with patterns? LOL its fun to be challenged and then really enjoy the process AND overcome that teeny tiny issue and discover patterns aren't so darn scary after all.

Oh no, sorry to hear about the gastro bug!! I can handle almost any kind of illness but vomiting ... ugh! I hope Josef feels better soon and that the rest of you stay healthy.
LOVE the layout for the SE challenge, you did good!! The papers are gorgeous and complement the photo perfectly! :-)
I too have issues with pattern papers, but this challenge was fun and it was good to use more than one pattern paper on the one layout
Oh not good to hear about the tummy problems...we have a water filter, if your getting an under the bench one, then it only has a cost every year or two (depends on which one) where you have to buy a new filter - still a lot cheaper than bottled water. And Julie head over to my blog at some stage 'cos last week I gave you the Funky Blog award, and you can pick it up and put it on your blog!
ewww at those bugs Julie. We have a filter too and ours sits on the bench as it is an old fashioned one where it hooks up to the tpas. But it works and its good. Love the colours in that SE layout very funky.
Its not good being sick and sounds like a really nasty bug.
I too have issues with lots of different patterned paper going on one layout but you have done a great job with yours.
Thanks very much Brook for the PIF - um, just between you and me Julie, what do I do?
Oops sorry wrong spelling for Brooke.
Love that layout Jules ... stunning, love the papers, colour combo, everything about it ...
Ewwwwhhh at the bugs as well.
