Anyone for Anya August Calendar or Patriotic Colours Challenge (DT post)

It has been a week since I last posted and I must apologise but I have been unwell and my crafting mojo went on a holiday! I am back in the crafting seat with a lot on the go so keep checking back as I have some new things to share with you!

This week's challenge at Anyone for Anya? is to SHOW YOUR PATRIOTIC COLOURS or to create your AUGUST CALENDAR PAGE for our ongoing Birthday Calendar. I chose to create my Calendar page as I would like to have a completed calendar by the end of the year! I have used the Rain Rain digital image from The Greeting Farm. It is truly one of my favourites!

Please remember to use an image from The Greeting Farm or CC Designs AND don't forget to pop over to the DT girls' blogs to check out their wonderful creations!

The prize this week is from Jacobi!
