Summer is in FULL SWING ...

HAPPY 4th of July!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!  So far the weather has been very cooperative and the sun is shining down on all those parade & picnic goers!  

With summertime in full swing, Cheryl over at Stamp By Step has asked her DT to create using "Summertime" as the theme.  Here's what I've come up with ...

  Everyone waits for summertime so they can "go to the beach" ... this adorable image is from the Crafty Secrets Seaside stamp set and the paper is also Crafty Secrets ... Earthy paper pack.

More fun in the sun with these Stampendous "Fun in the Sun" & "Seagulls" stamp sets.  The designer paper is The Thrift Shop "October Afternoon" and the fence was created using the Martha Stewart fence border punch.

Of course, what is summertime & the 4th of July without a Bar-B-Q???   These cute images are from the Stampendous "Fun Food" stamp set.  The sentiment is computer generated and the border punch is from Fiskars.

Summertime is always the perfect time for posie picking!!  And that's what this Stampendous stamp set is called ... "Posie Picker".  The designer papers are also from The Thrift Shop - October Afternoon paper pack.  The flowers and beautiful floral brad centers were courtesy of Stamp-By-Step.

Please be sure to pop on over to Stamp-By-Step and see all the wonderful crafting supplies Cheryl has in stock!!  And check out the July sale she has going on right now! 

Well, back to the holiday fun & festivities (cleaning out the garage, uugh!)  The neighbors have invited us over later for a cookout ... and the drink of the day will be "cotton candy cosmopolitans" ... hmmmm!!  Should be fun and very interesting!!!  Have a great day everyone!!
