ABC challenge - H is for ...

Holidays!!


This week's ABC challenge is all about holidays - it can be Christmas, Easter (start early LOL!!), summer holiday, any holiday you want. There is also a new sponsor this we so we have an offer a download from Kaboodle Doodles. Andrea has some fab stuff so pop over and eye up what you might like to win!





I love the idea of paddling around in rock pools on warm sunny days and getting nipped by crabs! Sadly we haven't had the summer for that, but I decided to reminisce on days gone by, when we had summers! I love this Sugar Nellie of Hanish and Maggie exploring. I watercoloured the image and matted it onto carstock and K and Co Hopscotch papers. I added some braid, wire (getting the hang now Becky, until the Gremlins 'tweak' it LOL!) and these accents from Papercellar.

Hubby reckons I should have coloured Hamish's legs blue! Hmmm!!

Here's hoping it is less wet tomorrow.
