Summertime and the livin' is easy

I fell in love with this month's image from Scrapper's Delights for the Progressive Challenge. However I was a little worried for her modesty if she should bend over to collect shells so I have added the shorts to her outfit.

Materials used: 
Scrapper's Delights - Sailor Dress Honey
Dragons Lair Designs - Seaside Retreat
7x5 card blank
printer card
X-Press It card
Copic pens:
skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
hair - E57, E47, E49
eyes - E35, E39, E59
tunic and shorts - B21, B23, B26, B18
outfit trim,stripes and bracelet - R29, R39, R59, R89

The frame she is in is from a Dragons Lair set of papers and embellishments called Seaside Retreat. I have been unable to locate it in the new store but if you go to the Dragons Lair fan page on Facebook I am sure you can drop them a message and they should be able to tell you if it is available anywhere.

We have certainly had a beautiful summer in the UK, great for those on holiday but a nightmare for our farmers. They had already started feeding the winter supply earlier in the year when we had all the snow and now they are having to feed again because there is no grass left. The crops are not doing much better either. We need rain, and not just a little. Ideally a good few nights of steady rain would be good for the parched earth and the flora and fauna. It's not often we have the problem of the summer being too hot and dry!

Thank you for popping in. Take care.
