Summer? .... Where? ....

Good morning everyone, hope all is well in Blogland with you all.  Well, that's the longest day past and the  nights now are going to start to draw in!?!  Hard to believe isn't it! Where has this year (and summer) done!! Thinking to myself that I will have to start on - *whispers* - Christmas cards soon - sshh!!! but that seems to really wish the year away ...lol...

Last Sunday we had our Brionni Trust stall at the Scribblers Picnic, Stirling,  a really good fun day despite the rain and we managed to raise over £138.00 - thanks for everyone's support and donations.

Since the weather has been totally pants, I decided to do a summery themed card to cheer myself up.  I've done quite a Clean & Simple card as I wanted to show off the papers (freebie from a crafty magazine).  I coloured the Magnolia image with my whisper pens so it was bold & bright.  The sentiment is printed off the computer and the sunglasses embellishment is from crafty stash.  The challenges covered today are:-

• Deep Ocean Challenge  -  Welcome Summer
• Cards for Men  -  Sports with a Sentiment
• Just Magnolia  -  Summer Colours

Hopefully I will be back on later day.  Barry is apparently going to treat me to lunch but we will wait and se ...lol...
