Summertime at We Love Stamping

It's reminder time at 

WE LOVE STAMPING 

There is still heaps of time to join in our Summertime theme, Anything Goes also welcome.

Now, for me, summertime means strawberries. I bought some plants earlier in the season that, sadly, did not do well. Jackson did manage to "borrow" a couple though!! Anyway, strawberries were very much in my mind when I made this...


I went a bit "shabby" and used  a Maja Designs paper pad, one of those that I bought to look at rather than use. For a change I inked with shabby shutters to compliment the leaves and roughed up the edges with my scissors. The stamp is, again, an old one that is from another Crafters companion set that I bought from shopping telly back in the day. I coloured him with pencils and resisted the temptation to use blending oil but was still happy with the result.

We are still baking here in the UK. Our fields are parched, we have more tomatoes than we know what to do with and the dogs are walked and the pony ridden before the local world is awake!!

I hope that you have a good weekend wherever you are. See you in a bit!!

Delicious design:-) Strawberries most definitely mean summer for me too. The fields and crops are getting desperate for rain now, while the sun has been good for haymaking, the yield just isn't there which won't be good come winter feeding. I bet once it starts raining it won't know when to stop and go the other way! x

This is so sweet. Love the papers you used to showcase your cute lil pup. He looks as happy as I would be after eating a bowl of strawberries and cream :-)
