Surfing

Good evening all

What a doughnut, I walked home from work yesterday, settled down with a nice cup of tea and then received a phone call from work, I had taken the canteen keys home with me.  Not happy was an understatement.  I had to put my shoes back on and walk back down.  I will not be doing that again in a hurry.


It has been another gorgeous day today, so tonight's card has been made with a theme of summer and surfing.  The digital stamp is called Summer Attitude from The Paper Shelter and I have coloured it with Copics and ProMarkers.
