Beautiful summer weather at last! Some people may have complained that it has been too hot here but I found it a wonderful change, as long as I could stay cool indoors. The children enjoyed the paddling pool, the family enjoyed a couple of celebrations with garden barbeques and I enjoyed an open air concert in the castle grounds. It's starting to look like a fabulous summer.
Now it's time for the new challenge at

"Anything Goes"
and our sponsor this month is:
who are offering a prize of 3 digi images to our lucky winner.
I have made a birthday card using a gorgeous crescent moon image from our sponsor.
The card is A5 size (8"x 6") (15x 21 cms)
This image is called Fantasy Moon.
The digi set comes with the image in four colour options plus a black outline image. It also has five sentiment quotes.
I used a pale blue Pan Pastel to colour around the image and then layered it onto a light blue card. I then matted that onto a dark blue card.
I printed elements of the image several times so I could fussy cut the flowers and leaves and mount them up with foam pads.
I stuck little gems and coloured pearls around the image and finished with a little white bow and my own printed sentiment.
Now please visit the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog where you can see the wonderful projects and cards created by our talented team using Polkadoodles images.
