I Double Dog Dare You Summer Breeze

I Double Dog Dare You Summer Breeze

We have a new group to take crafting to a our limit which we are proudly calling I Double Dog Dare You. I am Double Dog Daring you for our first challenge which we are calling Summer Breeze. Ok, granted, I know the heat hats soared to new heights this summer in some areas but let's have some sweet thoughts of our "Happy Place". Now again, just as a reminder, the only limit to our wonderful creative group will be their creativity!

See the curtains hangin' in the window in the evenin' on a Friday night

A little light a-shinin' through the window lets me know everything is alright

Summer breeze makes me feel fine

blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Summer breeze makes me feel fine

blowing through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper layin' on the sidewalk a little music from the house next door

So I walked on up to the doorstep through the screen and across the floor

Sweet days of summer the jasmine's in bloom

July is dressed up and playing her tune

And I come home from a hard day's work and you're waiting there not a care in the world

See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen food cookin' and the plates for two

Feel the arms that reach out to hold me in the evening when the day is through

Summer Breeze Lyrics by Seals and Croft

We have a super creative group of ladies that are participating this month as this will be a monthly challenge where the players may change but the creativity is phenomenal:

If you have come to visit me today, I'm honored but I wouldn't want you to miss a single creative spot and would want you to start at the beginning which is Lynne at http://slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/. You should have arrived from my creative accomplice <insert previous blog addie here>

Now, to showcase my creativity, I have for you today a summer themed card!

 I sued the Luau Cricut cartridge for this card. I also inked the coconut with my CTMH ink pad, added the little details with the edge of the ink pad, and used Stickles to add some shimmer! A little bling in the corners, but tried to keep it simple.

This card was inspired by the thought of sitting out by the pool, with the warm breeze, sipping on a tropical drink, just realxing in the sun, with friends. Perhaps a little day vacation away from the mounds of dirty laundry, sink full of dirty dishes, and all of the screaming kids!

With all this being said, sadly, I must let you know I am the last in this this hop!

Stay tuned for next month for I Double Dog Dare YOU on August 25th. If you want to particpate, let either Lynne Kirsch at hercraftiness@gmail.com or Kimberly Pate at KPKre8tions@gmail.com where we are going to be challenging your creativity mojo where the only limit is yourself with a theme of "First Readers"
