Wishful thinking.....

I think I was wishing for a return to warm weather last night as I decided to play along in the Paperplayers current summer themed challenge  http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/challenge-98-jaydees-theme-challenge.html as we are in for a wet and windy day today and not much of an improvement for the weekend either.........


I decided to combine the theme with a sketch and colour challenge - Retro Sketches  http://retrosketches.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/retrosketches-14.html  (whoops missed the deadline...)  and Play Date Cafe as I LOVE the shades they've chosen this week http://theplaydatecafe.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/play-date-cafe-pdcc135.html



See, it's definitely NOT flip flop weather in the UK today but these flip flops made with my new PTI die really make me happy despite the rain.   The border die is cut from a wave patterned sheet of DP using the tessatina die from memory box and the sentiment is Kraftin Kimmie.

Keep your fingers crossed for a drier day tomorrow as I'm doing the Summer Fair for St Luke's and I'm outside :(

    This is such a great sketch isn't it?! I missed the deadline completely... I love your zingy coloured flip flops over that cool background. My fingers are also crossed for the fair! Vicky x

    OK... as yorkshire lass myself... I'd say wet and windy was a typical summer day :-) I do hope it clears up for you for the fair.
    Love your card ... that border die. It's the perfect backing for your fabulous flip flops.
    So glad you were able to join the Paper Players this week.
