The challenge this week at Sugar Creek Hollow is called SUMMER DAYS and we want you to make a vintage, shabby chic or primitive card that describes what summer means to you.
I think summer is all about beautiful flowers but I can't grow them so I admire the flowers in my neighbourhood. This week the heat has been so oppressive in so many places that even the gorgeous flowers are struggling. Fortunately we didn't lose power like so many in areas of the United States did but I recall a number of years ago when we lost power for 3 days in the August heat. Thank goodness we have a basement because I lived down there with my flashlight and a couple of books.
I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:

I always love seeing just a bitty bit of embossing on a card, it adds so much richness. What a lovely, and homey piece of work !! We were so happy you joined us last week at Papercraft Star, celebrating our 2nd anniversary !!
ReplyDeleteStunning, I love the petite floral bg paper you used and the garden catalog image you used is so pretty. We lost power last Sunday for about 9 hours and we were thinking of the basement as well.
