Stay Cool!


 Is it hot enough for you yet? Whew! It is for me, and I never left the house yesterday, cowering inside in the air conditioning! I thought this image was perfect for making a card in this sizzling summer weather.

This is Deedee Anderson's pre-colored digi image called "Dog Days of Summer." This little guy is doing a lot of what I do lately which is to sit right in front of a fan! I just have to smile every time I see this pooch cooling himself off! I thought the little popsicle brad would be a perfect accent for this card. The papers are all from SU! and I embossed the lower portion with a Tim Holtz Sizzix bubble wrap ef. I hand-cut the sun from the digi set, and punched an orange center for it just to add some extra color. The sentiment was printed right along with the image, but there are several to choose from in this cute set. It even includes matching designer paper you can print yourself! What a bargain for the price!

On another note, Deedee's July digi challenge is in full swing, and if you play along, you'll receive the August digi of the month absolutely free! It's a progressive challenge which means you play along and link a card each month, and the following month you receive the digi for free! If you miss a month, you can still get the digi at a reduced price while the challenge runs, or you can get it free with a $10 purchase from Deedee's Digis. You can find all the details here on Deedee's Digis blog.

Wishing you all a cool summer day and lots of icy cold popsicles too! Thanks for stopping by!

How cute! You and the pooch were cooling down. Love the bubble wrap embossing folder and that cute popsicle.

We had sooooooo much rain and lots of thunder and lighting last night. It isn't so hot here this summer. Very strange....so far.

I stayed in yesterday, also. Glad the storms were not as bad as anticipated. As for this pooch, he has the right idea, for sure. Love the little popsicle brad!

Yes we are having the same weather here in MA that you are and in front of the fan is the only place to be. I adore that popsicle brad is out of this world cute and you did an amazing job with the sun. Nice nice card. Enjoy the day and stay in front of your fan.

This card is just too cute Carol! Yes, it has been awful muggy with high dew points and humidity, so wilt we do! But on the bright side, I love it when it is like this because the pool is so refreshing on days like that. Never fear though cooler days are coming for the end of the week. lol For now, sit in front of that fan!!! Hugs, Brenda

I am soooo not a summer person....sweaty, and itchy from mosquito bites. This pup has my summer routine down pat! How cute is that popsicle brad??
