Publication and Giveaway

Hello!

Last week I got the August issue of CARDS in the mail with my Sweet Summertime card in it photographed with slices of sweet and juicy watermelon on page 23. Ah...summertime memories! The dog days of summer seem so long ago already, don't they?

This card was a lot of fun to create! I adore the Simple Stories 100 Days of Summer collection I used to make it!

As you may know, Northridge Publishing gives two issues to designers who have a project(s) featured in their magazine and I'd like to give one of you my second copy. It's loaded with gorgeous cards from oodles of talented crafters.

If you would like to get your hands on it, just leave me a comment and I will randomly select a winner to announce on my post tomorrow.

Thanks for your visit. I hope you have a lovely day!

Sweet Summertime

Hello!

Wow, it's amazing how one weather cruddy weekend can make summer seem so long ago! It's been cold, cloudy and rainy the past couple days and I'm anxiously awaiting the sun to make its return today! It's kind of weird going from the 90s everyday to this gloomy soupy stuff!

Anyway, I have a summery card share. So if your weather is kind of crumby too, you can gaze at my card and think of warmer days!

I created this card with the '100 Days of Summer' papers from Collage Press that I used recently for another warm weather card. I love these fruits! Nothing says summer like a slice of juicy red watermelon!

I added a trio of colorful buttons from my stash...one of my go-to embellishments. And a little die cut butterfly.

I have to throw in some stitching! :)

I made this little tab with one of the patterned papers...the one with all the adorable cut-out cards.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed your weekend so far. My hubs and I were childless Friday night and all day yesterday and enjoyed every minute of it! We went out to dinner last night to a new place we've been wanting to try. Oh it was soooooooo very good! They set a new standard for sea scallops!

I'll be back soon with more crafty shares...and I have a couple new recipes the family tried last week that I want to tell you about!
