It's summer

but not where I am! So many of the card challenges going on at the moment are about summer. It's hard to imagine hot weather when it's wet, windy, dark at 5pm and cold. Taking my clothes off to get undressed for bed is an unhappy enough thought, without trying to imagine putting on a swimming costume and lying on a beach. Brrrrrr! Now cosying up with Christmas cards is MUCH more my thing at the moment. Hoho.

But in honour of the Scrap Whispers surprise challenge this week I've made a summer card, and I even made it in Neapolitan ice-cream colours: strawberry, vanilla and chocolate {shiver} for this week's Charisma Cardz challenge. I used a beautiful sketch from Creatalicious and featured House Mouse and Friends whose challenge is also "summer". I'm also entering it into Stampavie's "at least 3 layers" and Stampin' for the Weekend's "favourite things": brads, flowers, inking, ribbon and Stickles. It's rare that I don't use all of those on a card.

And the rest of this entry will have to wait until the Stickles have dried. You know how hard it is to wait? Yes? Then you'll be familiar with that test touch which almost always results in getting glittery gloop on your fingers. {Sigh} Soon...

Meanwhile, the Scrap Whispers Big Reveal should be posted any time now, so watch THIS space to see how our wonderful teams worked with Georgina's starting LO. There is a fun, summery (that word again...shiver) prize of a Bo Bunny "Barefoot and Bliss" collection pack for the card challenge - and the DT members are allowed to join in too! We'll be holding our monthly blog hop on the 15th too, so keeping checking back for lots of fun there. See you over there!

Now, has that Stickles dried yet.....?

Yup! Here it is!
