Craft-Room Challenge No 5 Summer Holidays.

It's my turn to choose the theme for the 5th CRAFT-ROOM CHALLENGE and I have chosen SUMMER HOLIDAYS. It seemed appropriate for this time of year with schools closing for the summer and people jet setting of here there and everywhere. For my sample I had a trip down memory lane, have a visit to the Craft-Room Challenge blog to see the fabulous samples that the other Design Team members have done.

For my sample I was going to make a card with the Crafty Individuals stamped image, I love this stamp because it reminds me of holidays that I had when I was a child, every year we went to Blackpool and the little girl reminds me of me sat on a donkey. Then I remembered that a few years ago I scanned some of my dads slides and there was a slide of me and my sister sat on donkeys, so I printed it, then I remembered that a few years ago we took the kids to Blackpool for the weekend so I printed a couple the photo's that we took then, so my card turned into a 10"x8" canvas. I painted the canvas with acrylic paint and distressed the edges of the photo's and edged them with vintage photo Distress ink. All the stamps that I used are Crafty Individuals, the shell, seaside and fish are all one image that I tore into three pieces and coloured them with dried marigold and broken china Distress ink. I attached all the photo's to the canvas together with some coloured matereal and some shells. Then I added some die cut letters.
