Riley & Company Challenge - Celebrate Summer

Don't you just love summer time? I know I do. Swimming, Bar B Que's and hopefully a vacation here and there.  Well in honor of summer, we are holding a challenge over at Riley & Company called "Celebrate Summer."

This was a great time to get out my Bar B Que embossing folder which went along perfectly with my Riley image called Picnic Riley. There are lots of fun images, so be sure to check out the store over at Riley and Company Designs. I am sure you will find something you will love and just can't live without.

What is a picnic without ants? so I had to add a couple of ant stickers along with a slice of watermelon. 

Here is a closer look at my sentiment:

I even decorated the inside of my card to match the theme:

Simple Pleasures by the Beach

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a fab weekend. I am here this morning to share a little note card I made over the weekend. I live in AZ, so we don't have any Beaches close by. Growing up in San Diego, I lived at the Beach in the summer months, so I sure do miss those times.

So I felt in the mood to make a beach card. I found this cute little Tilda image to work with.

I picked up 4 more copic markers last week, shades of red and yellow. So it was a good excuse to use them. Now, what is summer without Lemonade? It is so refreshing in the summer months! I even had a cute little yellow bikini sticker to add to the inside of my note card. I went that extra step and created the matching envie!

What do you think?

Hope you have a wonderful Summer Day!

Summer Time

Well...we are in full blown summer in Phoenix, AZ. Everyone always says it is a dry heat, but I hate that saying. Hot is Hot. My garden is struggling, unlike many others who's are probably thriving in other parts of the country. One thing I do love about summers in Arizona though is the fresh fruit! I made some strawberry freezer jam last night to keep me in the summer mood. As I mentioned before, I am part of an On line sellers group and the theme this week is "Grass". Perfect theme for summer...I found a nice book at Eccentric thrifter called Designing Beds and Borders. Great ideas to get that garden going...or in my case, save your garden. My last post was about Christmas. While it is important to start thinking about those holiday cards, I would like to enjoy my summer months just a little longer. So I will see what I can come up with in my playroom. As always, I will share my creations. "Happy Summer"! Well, as promised, I said I would share what I came up with. This seemed appropriate, since I do live in the sunshine every single day!
