well it is challenge time again at anything goes challenge
and the theme this time is Summer days
i do not have many summer stamps, but summer to me is about family time,
the children are at home
and hopefully there is time for a family holiday with
mummy and daddy..
so this screen came from there and the inspiration came from Tim's tags ....2012
and i have colour tinted some photos of our lovely children on
a wonderful day on a beach in Cornwall a couple of years ago..
i have added lots of ideaology, seashells, glossy accents,
to a screen which i had crackled and then inked.
this to me sums up summer...wonder what you will chose..
make sure you hop across here to see the other fab dt makes
and maybe pop in an entry yourself.
lots of crafty supplies can be found at craftden
I am entering this for the following competitions:
