Anyways ... I will try really hard to make sense of the new theme at Simon Says Stamp and Show ... this week we are asking you to share your Summer Holiday Art. Tricky I know when it has n't stopped raining for like for-ages ... but if you look out your window right now ... we ordered some UK sunshine to get you all in the mood!
The challenge runs from Monday to Monday ... and our wonderful site sponsor ... Simon Says Stamp gives us a $50 shopping Spree to give away every week.
My summer holiday tag was inspired by the countless hours I spent as a child ... sitting and chatting with friends while making Daisy Chains in the sunshine. I used Dylusions Pure Sunshine and Squeezed Orange sprays ... Paper Artsy Hot Pick 1203 ... and some Lord Tim of Holtz Idea-Ology and text stamp. You know Tim ... the man that individually paints all the butterflies wings while combing the tangle out of the mane of Wild Lions with just a Distress tool and the lid of some Glossy Accents!
I must away ... so much to do ... packing and ... erm ... packing ... did I tell you we SOLD our house!
Laters!

I love this - your work is always so bright and vivid - but I particularly like the fresh splash of white. This should be framed and on the wall - preferably mine, but you'd have to make a pink one ....
PS Great news about the house - come and live near me??
Have you managed to sell your house yet Linda?
No really that's great news and I love your bright Summery tag too !
Love your delicious tag, great memories and I now can make daisy chains and weave the magic again for my three grandees.
Good news about your house and I hope you get another lovely place with the perfect craft room just for you!

Hi Linda this is a gorgeous tag and I have happy memories of sitting with friends making daisy chains. We were usually planning a concert or making things to sell in our pretend shop. Oh.....those were the days my friend........and I hear a song coming on !!!!! Brilliant that your house sold too. TFS. :)

Yippeee doooo daaaar you have sold your house, wonderful news and what a perfect cheery tag to celebrate. Love the white against the vivid background, perfect. Tracy x
I know you must be excited. Congratulations. And yes, daisies are the perfect summer flower. The memorial daisies are what we always use for bouquets this time of year. Reminds me of my mum.
Gorgeous shades of oranges and the sentiment is perfect!!
