Fetch A Sketch Challenge 31

It's time for another Fetch A Sketch challenge! Lou is our hostess this fortnight and here is her fab sketch:

We are sponsored by Squidgi Digi and Beth is generously offering the challenge winner 5 digi's from her store!

I've used the fab Beach Huts digi for my sample, coloured them with Promarkers and added a cloud background from Echo Park - Summerdays and I've cut a few extra clouds and added a doodled line and foam pads for depth.

The sand is bits of yellow card that I had in my stash which have been inked and I handwrote the sentiment.  A bit of pale yellow organza ribbon in a bow and the card is complete!

Good luck with the challenge - for more details, pop over to the challenge blog!

Shoes, Queues and Blue Sky

Typical Bank Holiday Monday really except that the weather was stunning! Needed to get both boys school shoes and new trainers as their current ones are literally hanging off their feet.

The lady in Clarks thought the boys were twins as they have virtually the same shoe size and was quite surprised when I said that there was 2 years age difference!

We bought a soft baseball bat and ball whilst in Blackpool at Matalan in the sale as the plan was to spend time on the beach.

But not at Blackpool, but at Southport. And trying to get from one coastal place to another on Bank Holiday Monday in the glorious sunshine is not an easy task.

However with some clever short cuts through little villages we didn't know existed we did it and parked on the beach at Southport where the tide hardly ever comes in (well, we've only seen it once!) and had a quick game or two of baseball.
I should have used the flash as their faces are in shadow, but just look at the colour of the sky!

And can you spot the sea??!!
You'd have never guessed that it was torrential rain most of Saturday and Sunday morning!
