A bit late I know - but such a busy weekend! My eldest son (aged 20) has gone off to a music festival in Croatia (worry, worry!), and demanded my full attention beforehand, and Malcolm has just returned from a photography workshop up in far Scotland with the amazing Bruce Percy - if any of you, or yours, are interested in photography do check his website out - it is great stuff! Then this afternoon we had a little trip to Whitby (love Whitby!) - bought some gorgeous vintage lace bits, some pretty buttons, and a carved wooden buddha type thing for the garden. My house is sooo full of arty stuff, I've had to move on to filling up the garden now!
Anyway I'm sure you want the results not a potted history of my weekend - so here goes.....
Our fantabulous Helen Chilton was in charge of this challenge, and as I can't put it better myself the following remarks and comments are in her words:
'Really struggled to choose just 5 of these - there are so many great entries. In the end, I went for those that had really gone for it colourwise - the brightness just shone out even in the thumbnails. So, here goes':
'Hope that's okay! There were loads I could have chosen - they were all beautiful, so I went for the ones with vivid colours that worked.'
And how bright and beautiful they are - don't you agree? Thanks Helen for making the difficult decision, and please ladies can you email us at info@craftyindividuals.co.uk with your choice of stamp!
Lovely Lucy Edmondson is in charge of the September challenge, starting on 1st September, so we hope you can join us again folks.
Have a fun bank holiday - if you live in the, rather wet, UK!

- 16 Samantha Read - really went for it colourwise, and it works!
- 27 Paula - just beautiful - look at the sky!
- 19 Ann B - Love the colours in the background with the watery effect and the envelopes pick out each colour. Also the miniature bathing beauty!
- 5 Elaine - the colours just stood out behind the beautiful old ruin!
- 29 Alipeeps - Amazing range of background colours all pulled together with the flourish!

Thanks Jean and Helen - off to browse the shop and pick my stamp - may take me an hour or two to decide as there is so much I want/need.
