Hello crafty friends. It’s been another hot day here in the South East of England and we’re heading into another major heatwave later this week (which will possibly break the June temperature records, after last month’s record breaking spell as well). Anyway, after the busy-ness of the last few days at the Open Days, I… Read More Bouquet in a vase

Hello there. I’m back with a second card, this time for our new challenge at As You See It where Heather has given us ‘beachcombing’ as the theme.
