I wish summer lasted all year here in Ontario...but the sad truth is it is such a short period of time so we try to make the most of it! This was my first time ordering the Summer Kit from Magnolia and I am so glad that I did. It came with this cutie...So for this card I coloured up Tilda with the Lyras and I made a small cloud template and sponge around it with a light blue to make some clouds in the background. I then cut out the tag with the nestabilties and stamped the sentiment using the Papertrey stamp collection " A Day at the Beach".
I hope you all are headed off to a beach or pool to enjoy these last weeks of summer before the kids head off to school again for the new year!

Very cute Christine! I wish my feet were dipped in a pool right now instead of stuck under my desk. I love the sky and your colours are so soft. Very, very pretty!

Christine, gorgeous card. I love this image, so adorable. Don't have my stamps yet, but Cabio sent me some images, yipee! Love the colours scheme--nice and soothing to the eyes. I love the clean look of your card. Your colouring is always totally wonderful. And a big thanks on the tip for making the cloud background. I will certainly try it out. It looks fab.
