Summer Fun at Crafty catz

Hi guys, well I've had a lovely 1st week of semi retirement, the sun has shone and enjoyed breakfast with family and a lovely lazy spa afternoon, Picnic in the park, ooh how the other half live ...lol. If only it could be like this all the time!! well i still have a few more weeks of none working and then only part time hours so still time to chill.
Ok now onto my card for today ...

Its new challenge day at CRAFTY CATZ and our theme as always is ANYTHING GOES with our optional SUMMER FUN.

We had some fabulous summer images to play with from our wonderful sponsor 

The papershelter

This image was available to colour yourself or already coloured and with backgrounds, so can be a perfect quick card to make 

made my own sentiment and mattered and layered on a few different colours of blue card, dottie ribbon available from crafty ribbons. 

thanks for stopping by today 

have a lovely weekend and stay safe in the sunshine
