I'd firstly like to apologise to fellow Aussies for my obvious neglect of their 'seasonal' interests in recent times.  It is probably clear, upon viewing my last couple of projects, that I am a touch pre-occupied indulging in fantasies of the summertime. Please forgive me, I find that this helps me get through the cold winter months!

So, for those currently blessed with beautiful weather and thinking of enjoying a lovely picnic or two, I'm hoping that these little invites I've designed will come in handy!

A happy + colourful collection of badges by designer Sandra Igbodo over at Tea and Ceremony.  Be sure to check out her other goodies too!

Once again I find myself envious of the weather on the other side of the globe, my mind constantly drifting to thoughts of ice-cream, picnics in the park, summer dresses and warm yellow sunshine.

And so, out of a lust for warmer days, these Ice-Cream gift tags were conceived.

I'm in a much better mood just looking at the bright and cheery colours. I hope you enjoy them too!
