ATCAS #19 - SUMMER



Welcome to Addicted To CAS #19.  Our hostess for this challenge is Sue and she selected the code word: SUMMER:

Our sponsor for the challenge is Inspired by Stamping:


Please stop by the Addicted to CAS (ATCAS) challenge blog for the rules of the challenge to be sure to qualify for the prize.

When I thought about the word summer I thought about time spent at the seashore or lakes with the dragonflies swirling around the bullrushes and cattails.  I created two cards with this theme.  Here is my second card:


I hope this has inspired you to create a card for the code word SUMMER!
Thanks for coming by!
