Wishing You Sunny Days

It's August, and time for another FUN challenge over at The Four Seasons.   We have another beautiful inspiration photo to help spark your creativity, but you're not required to apply it literally.  It's simply a starting point for your Summer themed cards and projects throughout the month of August.  Summer is coming to a close, but there's certainly time for another glass (or two) of lemonade.  We hope you'll grab a cold drink and come play along.

I used basic cream cardstock (from WalMart) for my base and to cut all the lemons/fruit.  The sliced fruit is from the Dried Citrus Slices from The Greetery, and the lemons and leaves are Zesty Lemon Dies from Lawn Fawn.  The sentiment I used is from the Typewritten Sentiments Year Round Greetings Stamp Set from Stamp Simply.

All the patterned papers I used are random.  They were scraps that I found in one of my paper bins, and they are each from different company's lines.  I also cut some paper scraps with Postage Stamp Dies.  A few little sequins were the finishing touch.  You can see how I was inspired by the lovely inspiration photo.  My eyes were immediately drawn to the upper left photo of the pitcher full of fruity goodness.

Which elements, colors, textures or images call to your creative side?  We'd love to see what you're creating this month, and we really hope that you'll stop by The Four Seasons to link up your Summer art projects this month.  You're all so creative, and it's always a treat to see what you make.  We sure do appreciate having you join us.

So, I'll hope to see you over at The Four Seasons this month to play along with us.  It's always more fun when everyone plays along and shares their art.  I'm excited to see how you're inspired this month.  Take time to enjoy the lemonade, friends.  Have a blessed and creative week.

I'm sharing my card here:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Anything Goes" featuring Penny Black.  The SSS DT used fabulous products from Penny Black.  What a FUN challenge.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Summertime Blues" - Let me tell you, there's nothing like some lemonade (the hard kind or the regular) to chase away those Summer Blues.
