As a hayfever sufferer, I'm not a great Summer fan... much more of a Spring and Autumn girl :)
But the one place I can find relief in the summer is on the beach... not that there are the best beaches nearby - the North Sea is pretty cold even in summer!
I was inspired to make this collage for this week's challenge using photos from last year's Toast summer catalogue - I love the contrast between the blues of the sky and the sea, and the browns of the beach...
My lovely daughter cut out the figure and the sun for me - I so miss not being able to wield scissors *sigh* - but I've got a paper cutter and today, at least, a willing helper :)
Oh, the little birds came from Rae's 723 etsy shop - part of a goodie bag she included with an art folder I bought :)
And don't forget to drop by IA - by hitting the button in the sidebar :) The challenge finishes tomorrow and the entries are published on Monday...

Beautiful composition! ♥
Very lovely image. Well done on the background and paper cuts. Very clever to use a magazine.
hi claire. Yes, I came by here yesterday, and didn't leave a comment - didn't want to be pushy or anything. Very cute IA - I love the ocean - wish I were closer to it now. Growing up, my family spent many a weekend sailing on the Atlantic. Enjoy your new journal! {:-Deb
