Hello Summer

Well it took its time getting here but summer seems to have finally arrived - we've had a week of glorious weather!  And opportunely, we can celebrate its arrival because the theme for the month of June at 613 The Avenue Create is 

Summertime / and the Living is Easy

My ideal summer destination is anywhere by the sea!  I finally cracked open this lighthouse set (Charlie & Paulchen) for my husband's birthday.   The 'MOIN' banner die was included in the set.  Charlie & Paulchen are a German company but I hadn't heard the word MOIN in German before (though my German vocab is not exactly extensive) however it is obviously where the Luxembourgish word MOIEN  comes from - which means hello and is the first word any foreigner learns when they come to this very welcoming country.   The sea gulls above the heart were also from this set!

I teamed it with this Wavy Heart die from Poppy Stamps - cut from bristol card and coloured with alcohol markers.

 This month we're sponsored by
