Can it really be nearly August, wasnt it only yesterday i was waiting for the Osprey to return and the trees to turn green, maybe not because today three Osprey chicks are up and flying and the trees are a sea of green, tomorow the Osprey's will travel thousands of miles to Africa and the tree's will be come a riot of colour with yellow,gold,orange and reds giving a theatrical performance, catch that magical moment when the sun and the light is just right and the result is breathtakingly stunning, after that will be Chri. . . . nope i cant even type the word never mind think about it lol

So where was i oh yes the card swap :)

So the Theme is either

Its a Wrap, think outside of that box!

or as has been discussed on the forum of late,

Colouring in! Discussion has centred mainly on pencils, but you may use any medium you fancy

The female will generally go first around the end of August Beginning of september leaving Dad to teach the young to fish, he will then follow around mid september the young generally leave by themselves after he has left, dont ask me how on earth they know the way by themselves, i havent a clue :D although one year dad and the young left together just for a change lol

The only wraps I can think of are the kind you eat, so I guess I am confused :D or dim (don't answer that, on a postcard or otherwise)

Ah, now you see, it was the wrap theme that caught my eye and is why I want to have a go this time!

lol Thanks Dips, I haven't got a clue what a wrap is. It's probably obvious and I'm being thick. lol

Love your passion flower, Pam. Mine grows entwined with a vine, they are just so pretty! I don't think "It's a wrap" is any one thing (I hope), but I do have an idea for a card in my head that would fit with this theme, so it's coming out of my head and into reality now!

Pam

Thanks Dips.

I think, kind of techincally in cardmaking terms, a wrap is the exact opposite of an insert - like a vellum or acetate 'jacket' to the card - at least that's how I know them...but depending on how far out of your box you are, I suppose it could be something completely different :D

Oooh you have set my creative juices flowing, thanks RW. I have had a great idea, using some things I picked up when I went to Kanban a few weeks ago.
