Card #2 using PholkArt Blessings "whimsical tulip"

This is the same PholkArt Blessings tulip digi I used in my July 21 post. This time, I copied and pasted 3 images and resized.

is it Swimmin' weather where you are?

Here in Middle Tennesse its been in the high 90s, and with humidity, feels like over 100. Perfect swimmin' weather! This little cutie is from PholkArt Blessings.

ExCiTeD to be a part of PholkArt Blessings Design Team!

PholkArt Blessings will have their 1st challenge August 1st.
This tulip is a P*B design and the paper is Toodle Loo from Red Rubber Designs. My card layout is from a Red Rubber Designs sketch.

I have LOTS of cards ready to share using P*B images, and I can't wait to show you the versatility of this tulip design.
I hope you come back, visit awhile, and get inspired!!

Get your kids involved in Card Cupids

Beverly's grandkids, Kelsey, Kate, and Avery thoroughly enjoyed creating cards for Card Cupids. Beverly is my future sister-in-law, and has been very generous in sending goodies to Card Cupids.
Doing something for others is a great lesson to teach your kids, and grandkids.

This is a great activity for Vacation Bible School, or a
Summer kids project on a rainy day.

Please take a photo, and send to me to share on Card Cupids "Together Tuesdays",
and get your family, friends, students involved in Bringing a Smile to a child.
