It's the holidays yay!
...and finally I might have enough time to play and take part in some of my favourite challenges which this week are -
The crafty cardmakers - Holiday
Addicted to CAS - codeword WATER
Addicted to stamps and more (new one for me) - Make your mark,using markers chalks etc
After very busy and at times very stressful few months it's finally the school holidays and I am on holiday for the next 6 weeks! don't know about you but when I get really stressed I close my eyes and dream, my favourite being - of lying on a warm sandy beach and slowly toasting in the sun (of course in the dream I'm also at least 2 sizes smaller and 3inches taller!!) so hence my card....and isn't colouring in sooo therapeutic so restful even when it takes half a dozen goes to get it right !
p.s would like to say that in RL the umbrella is red and green not orange as it appears here, our son has our camera on his trip so have had to use my phone camera and I'm amazed to find that apart from the colour of the umbrella that it doesn't take too bad a picture !
Thanks for popping over x

Jenni, I only just saw your card and that one word immediately started me dreaming of a soft sandy beach, warm sun, waves rolling..... oh dear need to wake up. I love how you are thinner and taller in your dream. I put a similar thing on my blog last week with a holiday card!
ReplyDeleteYour card is simple, no bells and whistles, but so very effective. I feel warm and relaxed already!
Thanks for sharing with us
