Summer of Colour - Red & Yellow

Well this is certainly a colour combo you can't ignore !

Nothing shy & retiring here this week !!

From what I have read looking at the views on challenge projects guys have entered so far your thoughts vary from "discordant" to "vibrant" !

I'll leave you to decide which end of the spectrum you find my entry !

We are finally having some hot summer weather here - the first in about 3 years - so it has taken us all by surprise !
Our house must absorb the sun like a radiator - well it is certainly sweltering in here tonight - too hot to think of sleeping yet - see the thermometer on our garden shed - half past nine at night & still 22oC - unheard of  in Wales !!

So when I opened this month's "Simply Homemade" magazine which arrived today & found this yummy yellow polka dot paper, I headed down to my craft desk for a bit of a play !

I used some of the goodies I bought at the Art Stamps England show I went to on Saturday - a new Dylusions stencil of various sized girls silhouettes, Barn Door Distress Ink from my stash and some new Card-io tapestry style stamps I bought Saturday.



I had no idea where this page was going as I played - but this phrase popped into my head as I worked up the page !

I think it is about this amazing "bloggy world" where I can meet & share my love of  getting inky & messy with people who understand & don't think I am mad !

This ability to reach out & make friends all over the world, see & be inspired by your work - all just unthinkable science fiction a generation ago - and now a wonderful reality.

So this is for you, fellow travellers in blog-land, my hand is reached out in friendship & in the hope & trust that something wonderful may blossom between us - even on this sultry summer night !!
