Catered Crop–Summer Lovin’

 

Linda has a fun recipe swap at the Catered Crop.  This challenge is all about summer!

I don’t know about where you live, but here in Wisconsin it took a long time for summer to arrive this year.  Now the weather has warmed up and we can get outside to enjoy all the fun.

For my Summer Lovin’ project, I used this adorable bear from Di’s Digi Downloads.  I won her a while back but hadn’t had time to color her.  I’m so glad this recipe swap gave me the perfect reason to break her out.

Did you  have a good weekend?   We went to Fest Italiana in Milwaukee in the late afternoon.  It was beautiful down by the lake.  Once we were there, we saw that Matt Nathanson and the Plain White T’s were playing at one of the stages.  Bonus!  Matt Nathanson put on a great show.  PWT’s were okay.  They sounded a lot better than I expected.

Well, I hope you have a fabulous week!  Thank you for stopping by!

Great Impressions Stamps - Never Give Up

 

Hello!  I have a new card using Great Impressions Stamps to share with you today.

Once again I broke out my stash of washi tapes and tried to keep the design simple.  The more I use washi tape, the more I love it.
