This time we have a timely theme of Summer. As a kid, I spent many summer evenings chasing lightening bugs. We would put them in a jar to make a little lantern. 

I hope my project inspired you to join in this Theme Challenge and make something of your own. This challenge runs until 12:00 midnight GMT July 10, 2024. See the blog post for all the rules and guidelines. Also check out the other wonderful projects made by the Design Team.

A Little Snowman

While a lot of us are dealing with excessive heat, I made a fun little snowman card. Just Add Ink #707 is a sketch challenge. Christmas Stampathon 2024 was the inspiration for the window sheet and the winter scene.

Shaker

My card today was inspired by the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #440. Their circle led me to make a shaker card. CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge #474 was casing the techniques from the Annual Catalog. I was inspired by the card on page 123 that used die cuts as the shaker element. Instead of using dimensionals for height I used three layers of card stock that gave plenty of space for shaking.
