Summer Cookin' Thank You - PPA102 challenge

Sunday, July 17, 2011

Ahh...summer.  It's a beautiful sunny, bright day here in northern Illinois.  But, it's 91.1 degrees and humid.  Ick.  Even though my flower beds need to be weeded (again), I decided to stay indoors this afternoon.  And stamp :)
Good decision, don't you think?

The DT at Pals Paper Arts has given us this challenge:
PPA102 - Summertime and the Livin' Is Easy - Especially with Blog Candy!

We're told to draw inspiration from this photo...or whatever says summer to us.  Well, I just bought the new DSP from Stampin' Up!, called Domestic Goddess.  I think the colors look SO summery.  I cut 3 images from that DSP for this card.  And then, there is that cute gingham stamp in the House and Home stamp set.  Love.  It.  I just had to ink it up!  This was such a fun card to create.  I know...I say that a lot.  But it was.
I'm posting several photos, to try to show the details on this card.  Can you see the little wisps of steam rising from the pie?  That's a few lines from my clear Stardust pen.

Oh, I almost forgot.  I took a piece of that DSP and used it to line my envelope, too.
Thanks for visiting...I hope you'll leave a comment.  I appreciate them so much!
