Welcome to my stop on the Celebrate Summer Blog Hop! If you’re following the hop, you should have arrived from Lynn’s blog, Stamperosity. If you just dropped by, I have the entire blog hop order listed later on in this post so you can start from the beginning and work your way through. You won’t want to miss all the talent being shared by all the fantastic crafters!
I have two cards to share with you today, but first, I thought you’d like to know that 13 great prizes are going to be given away to randomly selected people who leave comments on the participating blogs by 6:00 pm EST Tuesday, July 5! In other words – the more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win! (I *will* be checking for any spam comments that sneak past the spam filter. Spammers won’t get prize eligibility!)

All 13 winners will be posted next week on Taylor Usry’s blog, The Quiet Moments.
Now, on to today’s cards! Since the theme for the hop is celebrating summer, I’ve used some summery images from InStyle Stamps’ latest digital release, Patty Summer Luvin. Patty has gone to the beach and built a sandcastle:
Supplies:
Digital Image: Patty Summer Luvin (InStyle Stamps)
Sentiment: Everyday Sayings (Lizzie Anne Designs)
Cardstock: Naturals Ivory, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla (Stampin’ Up); designer paper from Nature’s Whisper collection (Creative Memories)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine); printer ink
Other: twill tape (SU); Premier colored pencils (Prismacolor); odorless mineral spirits (Houston Arts)
Patty also knows that July is National Ice Cream Month. How awesome is that, to have another reason to eat ice cream! 😉 She’s decided to share some with a friend:
(Note to self: In order to retain sanity, do not paper piece the little bitty cherries on the tops of the ice cream cones again.)
Supplies:
Digital Image: Patty Summer Luvin (InStyle Stamps)
Sentiment: Summertime Celebration (Lizzie Anne Designs)
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla (Stampin’ Up); various papers from Blush 6″ x 6″ paper pad (Basic Grey)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine); printer ink
Other: Chocolate Chip twill ribbon (SU); small scalloped border die (Papertrey Ink)
