Sunshine

Wow! How hot is it here in the UK at the moment!  Us Brits are never happy - we complain when its cold, when its raining, when its snowing - all we want is the sun, then when we get it... well its too darned hot! 

So as the sun is shining, what better time to share this card I made recently using a really cute Bugaboo image of a girl going on vacation!  And although its pink, I have used yellow which is not a colour I would normally pick.  Its all part of my use up the card in my stash (all that core'dinations card that is not pink, purple and blue - as those are the ones I always use, and end up with a stash of all the others...) So I teamed up some sunny paper and yellow card and this is the end result!

Its Spots and Stripes at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #134

 

Hi! Its time for a new challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge, and this week the theme is Spots and Stripes. 

You might look at this card, and think - spots and stripes? Where?  Well, I decided to do something a bit different to using spotty and stripey paper (which is what I originally started thinking of).  So my stripes are in the sun rays and on the surf board, and the spots are all the dots in the sun rays.  What do you think?  Does that count as spots and stripes? :-)
