It's summer time ~ woohooo! Nothing says summer to me more than bright colors and flip-flops! This cute image is from a set called Relax Vacation from Simon Says Stamp. This set has some great summer images for cards and for scrapbooking as well.
It's Saturday & a perfect day here in Indiana for a BBQ! I decided to use the Sunkissed set from Our Craft Lounge on the June Sketch Challenge.

There will be a new Spotlight set on Monday ~ I wonder which set it will be....

This is one of my very favorite birthday pictures of my son Matt ~ Just look at those great dimples! This photo was taken 2 years ago in Juneau, Alaska on his 8th birthday. We took a 2 week cruise and land tour up there & on this special day, we went dog sledding on the summer sleds, talked to a musher, and enjoyed a gorgeous day in the Alaskan forests. What a way to spend your birthday! I love ya babe!
I have yet another creation from the Lizzie Anne Designs set called Garden Inspirations ~ can you tell that it's my very favorite set? Between the set and the digital paper pack ~ it's so easy to create with this wonderful pair of products!

FINALLY! Goodness, that took all week didn't it? I made a total of 13 cards with the fun little Bookworm set by Our Craft Lounge & I'm so pleased with how they turned out. 
Happy Saturday! Today I had a little fun with one of my favorite SU punches ~ the scallop circle! Actually, I saw this idea on Dawn McVey's blog ~ BRILLIANT! 
My neighbor came over with these lovely Peony blooms the other day & they were so gorgeous that I HAD to take a picture of them. When I saw how nice the picture turned out, I decided to make a scrapbook page with it for my Inchie Friday project.
Here are a few more shots I took around the garden the other day...
Have a great weekend ~ we are off to Cedar Point!

Now on to my project for today. It's time for a new Lizzie Anne Sketch! I was working on my June assignments yesterday & decided to pull up the current sketch challenge.
I used my favorite Lizzie Anne set called Garden Inspiration & the matching Digital Paper Pack. I love working with the Digital Papers because you can change the colors and scale down the sizes for cards. I pretty much kept to the sketch, except for the ribbon on the sketch. I decided to use a button and tied a bow on it with linen thread.
Supplies Used: Stamps ~ Lizzie Anne Designs (Garden Inspirations); Cardstock ~ SU; Pattern Paper ~ Lizzie Anne Designs (Garden Inspirations Digital Paper Pack); Ink ~ Palette, SU; Button ~ PTI; Linen Thread ~ SU.
I hope you all enjoyed the fun blog hop yesterday! So today I'm back with more of cards I made during my marathon stamping session this past weekend using the Bookworm set by Our Craft Lounge. As I mentioned yesterday, my daughter wanted to give notes to each teacher she had over the past 7 years. 
To make this stamping session go a bit faster, I stamped out all my images in black ink, colored them all at the same time and then used my Nestabilities to die cut the shapes. Then I went to work on putting a variety of card bases together. The stamped images are all pretty similar, but the different pattern paper scraps and ribbons make them look so much different.
Then I made little note tins that are filled with cut up pieces of notebook paper for scrap paper. Two of the tins read, "Note of Thanks" & the other two tins I made say, "Just a Note".
These are the Thank You cards I made to go with the cute little ensemble. I love the lined & scalloped notebook paper by Creative Imaginations & the Cursive pattern paper from Imaginsce.
Also in the teachers bags are some gift card holders. Along with the Bookworm set, I also used the solid apple from the set called Swingin' By ~ it's a great addition to this gift card holder.
I've been working in the school library all year, so I decided to make a little gift for the librarian too. She is so much fun to work with. We have not only gotten a lot done this year, but we had a good time in the process! Rather than a card, I made a bookmark and wrote on the back.
Not only did I get all this stuff made on Sunday, but I also made 13 teacher Thank You cards! My dear daughter is graduating 6th grade and wanted to give cards to ALL of her teachers over the last 7 years ~ OH MY! I'll share those cards later this week.
