I love summer and everything about it! Long hot, lazy days that bring back the memories of my youth...Eating watermelon and spitting out the seeds; seeing who could spit them the farthest! Staying outside and coming home once the "streetlights came on". I loved the freedom of summer! So...in honor of those memories I have created this card to send to one of my brothers (or should I say,"one of my partners in crime" during those long, lazy, hot summer days...).
I have used a Doodle Pantry image and sentiment for my card. The checkered background is actually gift wrap! The image was already in color (great time saver for those who need a card quickly). My other paper from my huge scrap pile. I distressed the edges of the sentiment added a few buttons, some butcher's twine and a cute little punched out heart.
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. Only 2 more days then I am off on Holiday with a very good friend. (Leaving the Hubby home this time...lol!)
Paper Possibilities..."Toadily Handmade" A place to come and visit with me and maybe learn a thing or two! So pull up a chair and grab a cup of "Joe" and enjoy your visit! Come back often and see what's new... " But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."

Very sweet card with a very sweet sentiment. I think I will go have me a piece of watermelon.
Why does seeing a pic make me want watermelon - and I don't have any - will be on my grocery list for tomorrow - love these crazy ants and their watermelon, great job.
I'm sure your partner in crime will love this card, lol! Great way to use gift wrap paper!
Wonderful card and very summery. Watermelon always brings back memories as it is always associated with good times!

Wow...thanks for the memories. I remember those summer days too...and having to be home when the street lights came on. Such a wonderful card to celebrate those memories. Your brother will love it!
