Scent of the sun...

Don't you just love that smell...the sun...it has it's own magical smell.  Soaked into the beach towels hanging on the deck, into the sheets on the clothesline, in my kids' sunkissed cheeks after a day of play.  There is no other smell like it, it's just....summer.  We're loving it here and I hope you are too...

Just a few fun things tonight!  Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on the blog hop.  I love it that you like to come visit me here.  Random.org chose commenter #208 as the winner of the Card Creations 7 issue..which was...Kathy Manning!

What a cute card

Kathy - e-mail me with your address (link on the left) and I'll get your address info passed on to the gals at Paper Crafts and they'll get your free issue to you!  Enjoy! 

Next is a little info...I had quite a few of you ask about how I did the embossing on my blog hop card.  I just used one of the little square embossers from Cuttlebug.  This one right here:

Nothing fancy with my regular Swiss Dot A2 embosser, just that fun little square dot border on the top left.  :-)

And now, just some fun cards.  I mentioned a few posts back that I love Cosmo Cricket, well, I took out my goodies today... some new, some old and just played around for a bit.  These papers are so my style...bright, colorful and just a touch of vintage.  :-)

A sweet baby card..

 

 

Yes, I'm completely in love with cherries (have I mentioned that lately??)

 

 

Honey Pie is still one of my favorite lines....

 

And yup, more cherries (Intervention please!!).....

 

 

Ahhh...goodnight.  I'm off to finish some things up and get these sun-kissed kids to bed.

Beautiful, beautiful....I love seeing what you've been up to! How in the world do you combine all those different patterns, colors, etc., and they look so terrific together? I struggle with my type "A" personality and being so matchy-matchy all the time and seeing what you do is such an inspiration! Love it, love it!

I got a kick out of your post today, because I could have written the exact same thing! I still adore my Honey Pie papers, love Cosmo Cricket for the same reasons, and LOVE cherries!
Beautiful cards as always :)

No need to intervene - love those cherries and all the other fun cards. Wouldn't want to change a thing about your style and your fav papers. It's so you, and so cool how you put it all together and make it look amazing. Keep up the fabulous work!

Such yummy cards, Becky! And I love your description of summer smells. Add the sea air and sandy shores, and you've got a little bit of heaven.
