Sweet Summertime...

Welcome blogger friends...
 
It's "sweet summer time"!  The weather has been very hot and humid here in SE PA.  Not complaining because it will be winter again too soon.  We're celebrating the season at the Double D with a new challenge theme, "Summer Gingham"

You'll love the mood board we are sharing today.  Choice is good and we give you plenty from the photos below.  Choose one of the four or use them all to inspire your project.  Link it up to the Double D "Summer Gingham" Challenge and you could be a winner!  You'll find guidelines and prize information on the Double D Challenge Blog.



We'll be choosing a Creative Winner along with 3 top choices chosen by our Design Team to receive our Double D Badge to share on their blogs.  Also, when a prize is being offered, we'll choose a winner by random draw.  Here's the prize for this challenge...

Here's my gingham inspiration...

"Choose to be happy"

I went with a fun and easy pop out design for my gingham card.  Spring is gone, but I love the happy image on this tag and it worked perfect with the papers.  The quilled flowers in the first photo inspired me so I decided to give it a try.  I made a basic butterfly with a tiger eye jewel as the body.  Not too bad for first try.   The center pop out area is blank for adding a note and signature.

This card is a real show stopper. Love the red and white gingham and you came up with a perfect design for a double Z fold card. Pretty flowers too.

This card is so grand! The fun fold is one thing, but then you added that fabulous butterfly and made it over the top amazing. So you think you may be coming to Florida this winter? Just wondering.

Oh my dear, you have outdone yourself here. How stinkin' cute, and oh so happy. And then that quilled butterfly, the perfect final touch. Really adorable, I love it.
