Summertime Fun - Crafty Gals Corner

Summer. In my neck of the woods, that time of the year lasts for exactly the blink of an eye. And yet, that one blink of a second is the most glorious, sushiney, warmth-filled moment of bliss. 

Over at Crafty Gals Corner, we are celebrating summer with cards! Since one of my favorite symbols of summer is the monarch butterfly, that's what I chose to focus on this week. 


I got to use a gorgeous digi stamp from Eureka Stamps called Butterfly and Sunflower. I paired it with a color scheme I hadn't used before - Orange, yellow, and blue. I thought it looked really summery but then I showed it to my boyfriend for the post-make assessment and he said "Wow. Very Autumny." *Facepalm* Well.... I tried! Haha


I used this awesome sketch from The Challenge
to inspire my layout. 

And the color challenge from ColorQ


I'm also entering it into:



  So come and get summery with us this week at Crafty Gals Corner. 
We have an awesome prize for you: 


Prize: 3 Digital Images

Thanks for popping by!
