Now onto the challenge over on 

ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE BLOG  

and our theme this week is 

"Here comes Summer" so anything to do with summer..

We  had a great time hosting our very first blog hop, we had a few hiccups along the way with Mr blogger not playing nicely! and people couldn't leave comments on various DT member's blogs, but we got there in the end.  

Head on over to the challenge blog to see if you are the winner of the blog hop candy,

 It could be YOU!! 

Onward's and upwards as they say... 

For my card this week I used some new gorgeous papers that I got from Lynne at the Craft Den, "Thanks Lynne for getting them out so fast".  I ordered them on Friday and they arrived the next day! How impressive is that!! 

Fleur from A Passion for Craft blogged about something called Scrim the other day.  It looks a little like cheese cloth.  So it was into DH garage to raid his stash and low and behold there is was like a beacon of light shinning in the darkness  ;0) so I put it to good use on this card. So "Thanks Fleur for the great tip" 

I gathered it at the edge and frayed it a little, it really is marvelous stuff. 

What summer wouldn't be complete without Strawberries! 

The little strawberry on the side my daughter made out of Viva Decor Padro Jewellery clay that I got from the Craft Den ( Lynne has the Pardo clay on offer at the mo)  she is so talented that way and can seem to sculpt anything.  Not like me that ended up with a round fat sausage strawberry, Who said that its easy to make things out of clay? ;0) 

Here's a closer view of that builders Scrim it does look so shabby chic doesn't it.  I also added a few flower soft stems, pearls, hat pins, pegs and a charm.  I beaded the finding and attached the charm to the eye hold on the end (sorry not sure what these findings are called)
