Late Summer vibes at Crafty Calendar


 Good morning Crafty Calendar Challenges are back after the summer break,
 the theme for September is SUMMER. 
What a summer it's been, day after day of sunshine- sometimes a bit too hot! No rain for weeks on end, it's still pretty warm here in the South East but thankfully we are getting some rain again, it's much needed. 
So our theme gives you a chance to bring out those lovely sunshine-y summer creations before autumn really sets in.

This card is for Emily, my 12 year old granddaughter, their summer break involved a few days camping in Cornwall, enjoying lots of beach time in the glorious weather- surf boarding was the order of the day, then they headed off to N. Italy, driving through Switzerland to Lake Garda, where amongst many other activities, the girls discovered the joys of paddle boarding. I thought this fun Krista Smith digi would remind her of the wonderful summer she's enjoyed. Image is coloured with Copics, fussy cut and placed upon the 'waves'. DP is from the Works, and the die cut sun rays are a Moonstone Die. I added a couple of stamped sentiments.
There's plenty more inspiration from the rest of the team over at Crafty calendar, we'd love to see your memories of the summer too so hope you can join in this month.
Thanks for visiting
Chris

Bright and joyful — the paddle‑boarding digi is perfect for capturing your granddaughter’s summer adventures. The Copics give her such lively color, and the wave background and sun rays make the whole card feel warm and full of motion. A wonderful celebration of summer memories.
