Challenge #88 Color Challenge

Good Morning crafters, now that the holiday weekend is over for everyone, I hope you all got to enjoy some sunshine. We spent the three nice days we had trying to demolish the garden from the grass that seemed to have grown at least 2½ feet tall, poor lawnmower I thought was going to give up on me, and now I'm suffering from some pretty sore muscles everywhere, but enough about me........it's time for another challenge here at Bearly Mine Challenges, and wow we were all bowled over by the number of entries in our last "Anything Goes" challenge.......so I hope you'll all join in for this week's challenge which is a color challenge, and such pretty spring/summer colors too.

Now for the winner's of our last challenge we have
My Mum's Craft Shop £10 voucher going to lucky #46 Craftyanny

Anything Goes

Good Morning.......wow what a response to last week's challenge of Lucky Dip, so I know you're going to love this week's challenge of "Anything Goes" even more.

Well it looks like Summer is trying to arrive, as the temps have been climbing a bit in the last few days, and I do love to sit outside and craft when I can, after being cooped up indoors for so long. I was sitting out on the deck yesterday, painting a few items I am altering and of course getting paint all over my legs.
