 The memories  that returned  whilst  I  was making this  card  were tremendous!  I  started it  with  using items that reminded me of  childhood  holidays  . I used  items  from  Craft Artist  and  Kate Hadfield  to  design  the  base of the  card  .I layered  this onto  a  seaside  background  .

When I  added  the  embellishments  the memories  came flooding back  , The  ruched swimming  costume  that  fell down  when  filled with water  . The  'cool' sunglasses,  .a  trip  to buy rock  which in my  case  was  Welsh  No 5  rock,  the  taste of  which  was  amazing ! I  also  added  shells which I  searched the beach  for  and  sand,  ,the  feel of it  between  your  toes  after dry  socks  were put  back on ! The  punch  and  judy  show which  we never  felt  was cruel , and of  course  the ice  cream  cornets  which have    never tasted  so  good  since!   I  thought the title of this  should be  a celebration of  memories  . 

I used  buttons for the glasses  ,costume and rock  ,real  shells , and  flock  powder  for  the  sand  . To  complete  I  added glitter  .

Yhe  nights  are  drawing  in  and the  autumnal  smell is  there . This  always  reminds me of  the smell of  bonfires,fireworks  and  roasting  potatoes  in  the fire  .

 I began  this  card by adding  a conker  from  Kate  Hadfield  on to  an ombre  background.I    coloured  a digi from  Dis  digi  called  Conkers. I  fussy  cut it , coloured  it  with  PMs  and  added  glossy  accents to  all  the  conkers  .To  complete  I  added  a  stamped  sentiment  and  another  conker


I  would like  to  enter this  card into  the following  challenges _______
