Well today is the day the 2nd challenge appears on Papercraft Junkies forum .Papercraft Junkies is the sister site of Crafty Carrot a great online shop owned by Tracey whos blog is here

When this challenge was announced I could nt believe my luck. I bought a frame from Wilkinsons a few weeks before to do a framed lo for my Oh for our Anniversary on the 18th. I was going to do our Favorite places (probably too many for one lo) when the challenge was announced well it just made it all so easy. My Oh loves steam trains, well to be honest I quite like them myself. especially the dark green ones with all the polished brass , They look stunning.
So the challenge Trains, Planes and Automoblies (Transport)was the answer to a prayer and here is my 1st example

Well today is the 1st challenge appears on Papercraft Junkies forum .Papercraft Junkies is the sister site of Crafty Carrot a great online shop owned by Tracey whos blog is here

The challenge is summer weather and here are my examples for the challenge this week .


Indian Summer pendant *well we are all hoping for an Indian Summer)


Quick Atc the using the phrases Summer Breeze,Summer Rain and Summer Sun. I decided to add umberellas as boats bobbing along because of all the rain we ve had this summer.



Thank you card using the verse from Summer Breeze (I think by the Isley brothers but could be wrong) Summer breeze Makes me feel fine, Blowing through the Jasmine in my mind. So used a picture of jasmine as the main part of the card. (I have always loved this line it always reminds me of summer and I love the smell of jasmine there is nothing quite so exotically, stunningly aromatic)



Quick summery get well card.
