Dreaming of Summer Days

Some of us in St. Albert are wondering whether our summer has officially come and gone in the blink of the eye.  This year we've had two extremes for summer - mosquitos and monsoon!  When picking this challenge, Christine and I imagined that we'd be enjoying hot summer days - not simply dreaming of a typical dry Alberta summer.  I have paired up this adorable cutie from CC Designs with an extremely appropriate sentiment from Lili of the Valley:

The sketch is from a new sketch challenge blog, Pink {Ink} Sketch.  The inside is fairly simple, using different strips of paper from these gorgeous Echo Park papers:

Dreaming of Summer Days will be entered into the following challenges:
Charisma Cardz - Sunshine Colors
Dutch Dare - Color Combo
Fussy and Fancy - Summer
Craft Your Days Away - Summertime

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your "Just Beachy / Summertime" creations on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog!

Paper Sundaes Eighth Challenge

Oh Happy Sunday!  Not only do I have another Paper Sundaes Challenge creation to share, I also need to direct your attention to Magnolia-licious who has the Wedding and Pirate collection in stock!  I placed my order last night and I stuffed my cart full of Tilda and Edwin images only previously seen in the Spring 2010 Magnolia Ink magazine.

Back on topic...this week one of the lovely design team members and CTMH consultant, Shanna, has chosen the colour combination of Crystal Blue, Hollyhock, and Sweet Leaf for this week's challenge at Paper Sundaes.

Luckily I stumbled across the gorgeous Flutter Collection by Making Memories which fit the colour challenge and happily coloured this little beauty from CC Designs Spring Collection:

I used Close to My Heart adhesive backed half pearls and On Target dimensional elements to add dimension and texture to the card. 

The inside of the card features a sentiment from the CTMH acrylic stamp set Card Chatter - Thank You stamped in Sweet Leaf.

Please join us this week at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog for your chance to win the CTMH stamp set "Be Yourself" from Sundae Girl Shanna!

This card will be entered into the challenges at Cupcake Crafts (circles) and The Pink Elephant (add green to your colour combo).

Thank you for looking!
