Our Summertime Story ...

This is a very bright page, inspired by the challenge at Hooked on Craft Challenges at the moment - the criteria was simply SOMETHING BRIGHT.  This is what I came up with ...


I've used some of my favourite goodies - A2Z Scraplets (just love those thongs, and a tree), Purple Pumpkin (spotty button and felt star), Craft Queen (white ribbon), My 2 Angels (charms), Bo Bunny papers, and a technique that I love though don't use often enough - hand stitching (Anne P does it so well!).  There's even a hidden journalling tab at the top of the photos. After I took the photo I even added a lovely Turquoise flourish from FWAB above the thongs and up the right hand side! I will need to retake the pic and upload.




I love using Thickers, but I really hate it when I have heaps of letters left, but just not the ones I want!!  I think everyone runs out of the E's too early, so I've use the number 3's upside down. I didn't have an S either, so that's made up of the reverse of 2 questions marks, and the T was a cut down number 4.  I have a huge box of Thickers that I just haven't managed to throw out, and if I keep this up I might just be able to use them up ... might take a while, but maybe ....  I just hate to throw things out.

Hooked on Craft is also having a DT call so if you are interested, pop on over and enter the challenge or send in your details :)

Thanks for looking.
