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 .
I would like to enter this card into the following challenge(s)---

Oh this did make me smile Jenny, especially the mention of the ruched swimsuit, how I remember those and all the other elements. In my case they were enjoyed in Norfolk and not sure if it's just a child's memory, but the sun always shone and it was never cold.
