Sweet Summer!

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!)

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.

Wonderful card and very summery. Watermelon always brings back memories as it is always associated with good times!
