The Royal Treatment

Just popping in with a quick card. Although I keep saying I'm going to use sketches more...that hasn't happened yet. I did manage this card using the sketch from My Favorite Things-Wednesday Stamp Club. Once I selected the papers, it was super easy to assemble.

Hot Fun in the Summertime

I am a child of the 60's and have always loved the Summer. Whenever I do think of Summer the song "Hot Fun in the Summertime" by Sly and the Family Stone always comes to mind. The fortnight challenge at the Corrosive Challenge is "Summertime." Create a "Summery" project. Our sponsor is Inky Impressions

What is more "Summery" than a boy and his dog out playing under a summer sun? Be sure to stop by the Corrosive Challenge blog for more inspiration and to enter your own design.
It was a no brainer what sentiment I'd use. If you've followed me for any time, you'll notice that I almost always use a sentiment on the front. This sentiment, like so many others that I use, is from Paulette at Create with TLC
