Good morning....where did last week go??? The summer seems to be rushing by at a rate of knots! It actually feels more like early autumn in this corner of the UK! Hopefully, we'll get some more lovely warm days before autumn truly sets in!
Here's a card to remind you of hot summer days, it's my GDT card for this weeks challenge at Tuesday Throwdown, my third week already! The theme is 'Our Furry Little Friends' sponsored by Oak Pond Creations, who generously supplied this cute image for me to use. Well. it'll probably come as no surprise but I chose to paper piece it! I had a piece of DP that I bought about 10 years ago that was perfect for the sea, just added a touch of glitter glue for the sea foam. Added a little shading to the paper pieced dog...he looks as if he's having a lot of fun keeping himself cool! Some die cuts, 'water droplets' and a brad to finish. The sentiment stamp was a magazine freebie!
I thought I'd leave you with a recent photo of my lovely Mathilda.... she doesn't like the sea...she's frightened of how it 'comes to get her'! She does love the beach though.........
and here she is with her favourite new toy.
Thanks for visiting, have a great day.
