getting patriotic

Morning all! I hope Sunday's looking as good for you as it is for me?! I think we'd better make the most of it though - sounds like we'll have rain back tomorrow!!!

I'd like to share my patriotic beach hut with you today! Not literally you understand!!! Although if I had one you'd be more than welcome to come along for a cup of tea!!


I've loosely used a sketch from digi makeover challenge 34 and digital images from the crafty pad. I wanted to make a summery card with a british feel and using papermania papers (free with creativity magazine this issue) I think thats what I've achieved!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Cupcake Craft Challenge: The best of British: cupcakecraftchallenges
CYPC: Lots of Texture craftyourpassionchallenges
Digi Makeover Challenge 34: Sketch papermakeupstamps
The Crafty Pad: May Showcase thecraftypad may-tcp-showcase
Crafters Companion: Here comes Summer ccmonthlychallenge
DYSU #70 Circles. doyoustackup

Got to go and make the packed lunches now - we're off to Blackpool Zoo today!

Have a lovely Sunday

Rachel xx
