Hi peeps! Yup, officially Summer here in our town...been over 100 for five days in a row now... I must say that after being back east a few weeks ago...there really is something to that "it's a dry heat" theory. I don't feel it here as much! I hope everyone is having a good time relaxing. We are Fall people and we have been trying to plan a vacation for October to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We are debating several places and keeping a keen eye on the Travelzoo website. Our last two vacations were from that site and they were both great!
Today's post has my card(s) for the July Hero Arts Blog Contest. The themes this month are Summertime and Parties! I chose a cute set of Summer Fruits from Hero Arts to make a notecard set. This was such a fun project! Got out the gingham paper and the Copics and just a smidgen of glitter glue. Couldn't be easier. This stamp set is way adorable!
Some simple supplies and a quick and easy layout. I used a Martha Stewart edger punch for the solid paper. The notecards were cut using a large square Sizzix die. They are about 4.5 inches square. Makes it seem summery to me.
The set also has a Pear and a Pineapple stamp...I guess I could have kept on stamping! Oh, and I think there's an apple too! I think these four are the most season appropriate.
I know I took a million pictures... These colors were so fun to photograph. So graphic and clean with that white setting.
There is still a lot of time to enter the contest. You can enter as many times as you like. Go on! Have a fabulous weekend everyone! Thanks for coming by my blog today. Mwah.
GIRL I AM SO CASEING THESE! They are awesome!
