This card is fro Kim's VSN Sumertime Playlist challenge and is a sketch challenge. The only other requirement was to make it about summer......and you are all saying how can this be about summer...well here in Australia Christmas is right in the middle of summer and in Brisbane it's hot and steamy.
In my childhood it meant school was finished for six glorious weeks. We got shorty PJ's in our Santa sacks and there was this pervading smell of Park Davis sunburn cream lol. The day after Christmas we packed up and headed to our beach block for two weeks.
So Christmas and summer are synonymous for me .... I rest my case lol, lol.
The card was very easy, a little heat embossing then just stick it all together. the sad thing is the DP is one of my favourites and it's nearly all gone.
Thanks for looking

Pretty card...fun to hear about Christmas holidays in Australia. I had an idea for a Christmas card for this sketch, too but then realized it needed to have a summer theme...I could have said it was a card for an Aussie friend....
