SDC9: What Does Summer Mean to You?

It's my turn to host the Stampotique Designers Challenge again this week - what better way to celebrate my birthday!! With the official first day of summer fast approaching, I challenge you to bring the heat with a creation reflecting what summer means to you. We hope you'll get fired up about this sizzling challenge and join in for a chance to win a smokin' hot $15 Stampotique gift certificate!! You may use any stamps that spark your inspiration.

Here's the long card that I created for this challenge. We live beside a lake, so summer typically involves a lot of daydreaming on the doc with friends, baking in the sun (ick!) and swimming to beat the heat! Summer here is a magical time with everything blooming, dragonflies flitting, butterflies fluttering, hummingbirds zipping around and the bees hard at work. Isn't summer a busy time for all creatures?!!

"A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken."
