Fête and Festival
Hello Crafty friends!
Thank you for joining in with last week's Roses and Honeysuckle challenge. We always love seeing your wonderful creations and of course we all adore flowers, don't we? So please keep sharing!
This week it's all about celebrating those Summer events!
Fête and Festival
It's the Fete and Festival season!
and among many other Summer favourites, this weekend the famous Glastonbury Festival will be in full swing. Will festival go-ers be knee-deep in mud this year or reaching for the suncream and suffering from heatstroke?
This week get happy, sunny, and fete/festival-ready with colourful, celebratory flags, bunting and/or music on your projects.

Roses and Honeysuckle
Hello Crafty friends!
Thank you for joining in with last week's challenge. We always take inspiration from your creativity and loved seeing how you incorporated the Sun into the things you made, so please keep sharing!

Roses and Honeysuckle
June's birth flowers are roses and honeysuckle.
The rose is a classic symbol of love and romance, while honeysuckle is known for
its sweet, fragrant blooms.
We'd love to see your creations using one, or both on your cards, tags, postcards or 3D projects this week
- and don't forget to share them with us!
