Happy Thursday! It's the 28th and that means the Calendar Girls blogging group post our cards! This month, our hostess is the lovely Michelle and she gave us the best theme to create - Summer! Along with a sketch challenge from SCS388, this is what she challenged us to do:
For most of us, June is the month that starts summer...many events are happening...school ending, graduation, weddings, flowers blooming and family vacations.
My challenge is...using SC 388 (found in the SC thread), with any color combination create a card that best suits your beginning to summer, or summer plans. It could be a trip you are planning, a flower that is blooming, a wedding you are attending, or a graduation gathering. Whatever it could be...have fun creating a card to go with it.

Fun, right?!! For my card using her chosen sketch, I used my TGF "Summer" scrapbooking kit ~ this poor set hasn't seen ink in soooo long! I wanted to pair this with bright summer colors and went straight for orange :) Our summer definitely starts out a little busy with Tae Kwan Do classes and performing arts camp but once it settles down, we are all about the beach and trips around Florida including Disney World! :) In fact, we cancelled our plans for being out of town this week/end due to the tropical storm we saw looming and leave in a couple of weeks instead. And of course, the storm is not only gone, we have a gorgeous heaping of sunshine!
Here's another peek at the sketch :)
One of my very favorite parts of this Sunshine Kit from TGF are the sentiments. They are just darling!
Please be sure to stop by the other Calendar Girls to see what they came up with using this sketch and their summer plans, too! You can find their link in my side bar.
Thanks for stopping by today
and I hope your summer is off to a blessed start!
