Happy first day of summer!
Summer
afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most
beautiful words in the English language.
~Henry James
Are you doing anything today to celebrate the arrival of summer?
Each fairy breath of summer, as it blows with loveliness, inspires the blushing rose.
~Author Unknown
June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and
simultaneously heralds the beginning of winter in the southern
hemisphere.
Being kids at heart, we picked up a plastic 'kiddie' pool at the discount store to sit and splash in as the days heat up. Perhaps we will break it in this afternoon! Speaking of warmer days and sunshine, I made a summery card a few days ago. There seem to be plenty of birthdays in June, July and August so I am stocking up while having fun~
I used:
- Prima flowers
- Liquitex Modeling Paste for clocks (center)
- Liquid Pearls
- Sizzix weathered clock die cut
- Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst
- My Minds Eye The Sweetest Thing paper
- TCW 6x6" mini time travel stencil (used w/ modeling paste)
- K & Company sticker
You can see how this easel-style card stands up when displayed. For this Cherish The Journey greeting card I used half pearls as a the card rest. Lifting the card front over the pearls allows one to fold it flat. There is space inside to write a sentiment.
Then followed that beautiful season...Summer
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.

The last few evenings we've been playing Yahtzee while listening to 70's c.d.'s - so much fun! It's official: summer is here!
