Just Us Girls #735 -- WORD Week

Carol Mc is hosting WORD week at Just Us Girls.  This week, incorporate SUMMERTIME into your cards. I created a Hello Summer card with an embossed background stamp. The backgrounds are sprayed with metallic sprays, then the backgrounds were embossed in either white or gold. Glitter dots and a stacked sentiment were the final elements.

Continuing with my New Year's resolution, I made four cards for to Operation Gratitude, an organization supporting our Military and first responders letting them know that what they do matters. One of the handmade items they request is handmade cards for their care packages so recipients can write their loved ones.

Check out our fabulous guest designer for July, Cat Craig. Please welcome her and check out her fabulous work over at Cat Luvs Paper! 

Also check out the design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

Enjoy!  I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

There is a little of everything summer in that background stamp, Elizabeth. The colors are hot, just like in Florida. ;)
