Hot Summer Days


Yea! I did get to stamp today . . . it's been a while. I wanted to play with my relatively new Hot Stuff set from My Favorite Things. It has been sooooo hot here for a while. Now don't get me wrong, I love summer in Maine, but for maybe 1 or 2 weeks out of the summer when it gets to be high 80's and 90's I start to wilt (I definitely wouldn't make it in the south!). I haven't been to the beach to see if it's any better there, so I thought I'd take a mental journey with this card.

I wanted to try a few different things with this one. I cut up a very cheap washcloth (I think from Target) to make the beach towel, cute huh? For the umbrella I used my Giga Scallop punch and some paper I purchased from Paper Pretties as a suggested add-on with my July box (all the DP on this card is from PP). I added some red lines coming from the center for the umbrella look, a prima in the center with a brad to make it look like the top of the umbrella. The stick is one of those fancy toothpicks just stuck in the "sand"paper. I stamped the flip flops on DP and cut them out. The sentiment is A Muse - love it!!! And the ribbon is some I purchased from Jacksonbelle Embellishments. Oh and there is a cute little crystal in her belly button that came in the July box from Paper Pretties.

So Happy Summer everyone . . . get out and enjoy it while it's here! Is it August already?????
