DONT MISS MYTIME MAIL POST HERE-just comment for a chance to win.
So today is going to be a great day. My Stampin Up catalog order is arriving! I got some “organization” stuff and new paper and ribbon! YEAH!
I also got my order from Impress yesterday! I ordered Friday afternoon, and my order arrived yesterday! WOW! I got the chinese lantern that one of my DD creations was based on, a mail box, image, sentiment that says “Look who’s turning” , a large flower, and a umbrella image similar to the lantern.
I have another order “picking” at All That Scraps. She got in stamps from The Cats Pajama’s that I had to have, plus the super cool Creative Hot Knife. That is on its way to ME! Check out her tutorial on its use HERE.
OK on to the the cards. I posted these on SCS yesterday.
Ok I just think this little image from C.C. Designs Summer Set is the cutest evah! Its my favorite from her set. I just began coloring her, and kept seeing a busy little “bee” so I went with it!
Over all this is a simple design.
I stamped her, and colored with Copic Markers. I then used her (C.C. Designs) shadow stamp for the “sand” mound. I used my coluzzle to cut a circle so I could sponge the circle “sky’ behind her. Really cute huh? Then popped her out with my scalloped Giga circle .
The bucketis cut and on dimensionals. The Sprite Primas are like the flower on her hat!
My ribbon is by Martha Stewart.
DONE!
I love the little swim suits. I just stamped, colored and cut from patterned paper. Used my scalloped rectangel.
Paper is by SEI called Penelope’s Potpourri. As is the ribbon.
Another quick card.
Who wants to get these 2 cards in the mail? Anyone?

Just tell my your favorite part of the summer.
My favorite part is our home town has an Annual Hot Air Balloon Rally, every year the first week in August. People come from ALL over. This is the weekend we also celebrate Amber’s bday! I remember being due the day of rally, and praying Id be able to attend! I was way over due! So I definitely made it!
I just look forward to it every year. I love living in a small town. Growing up in the city we didnt have the hometown things we have here. Like-Old Home Day, Ballon Rally, Farmers market town wide yard sale-crazy stuff. Its nice to raise a family here.
Thanks to all of you who are sharing your summer time memories. I love reading about each of you. I read every comment that comes in.

Beautiful cards Lauren!!! I miss living in a small town. I was raised in a town of less thsn 300 people out in the country. No I live on the outskirts of the state capital. The fun things that the small towns do is fantastic. Wish everyplace could be like that!!!
I love the summer for the sunshine and the long evenings…not a happy camper when it is pitch black out at 4:30pm.
Such cute cards! I would love to see the balloon rally in your town! My parents flew hot air balloons when I was younger – it seems like it is a dying “hobby” – we rarely see them around here anymore! My favorite part of summer is going out for late night ice cream with my family – calories eaten outside don’t count!!
Hi, we took our grandson to San Antonio to see the Alamo Sea World, Six Flags Feista Texas, and the Riverwalk. he had a blast. He is Addhd and autistic it was so much fun watching him be amazed by all that was going on around him. I love summer swimming get togthers with families and vactions. I love all the cards that you do you are truley a very talented person.
These are great. I just love the saffron and black combo and the circle sky.
Small town living is so great – wish I could be back there! My family started out in a small town called Bushnell, SD and every year they had the Bushnell Bash, I remember as a child trying with everything I had to catch that greased up piglet and climb the greased pole to get the $1 bill taped to the top of the pole! Summer is about being messy and dirty and no one yelling at you becuase of it. My parents had no problem hosing us off in the front yard.
Super cute cards! The thing I love most about summer is no snow! Since winter can be so cold, I love to just sit outside and watch the kids fun and play!
Favorite part of the summer — loooong daylight hours.
Your cards are cute!!! I love summer! I am a teacher and look forward to days of NO SCHEDULE!!! (Of course, my three daughters have schedules! ha!) I also love living close to Chicago…we can hop a train and just “hang out” in the city. I love summer. (sigh)
Such cute cards! Summer is just FUN!!
ooh again! I love your blog! (not to mention, your cards!!!) they are gorgeus!
One thing I love about the summer is the Annual BBQ bash they have the first week in August. I LOVE going over there and watching them cook their chili, then watch them decide who wins, and the FOOD is the best part – YUM!
I haven’t had any ribs or pit beef/ham/turkey this summer YET and I WILL when the BBQ bash gets here! my stomach is growling just thinking about it!
Hello Lauren!
I just love that little busy bee! 🙂
Such a sweet happy card.
Sincerely,
Laurie
Love reading your blog for inspiration and enabling!
I miss living in a small town. I love going to Graffiti Night in my home town which is a weekend of old classic cars. You meet everyone on the streets and hit the local drive-in diner for soft serve ice cream. You also can’t beat a day at the beach just watching the waves crash and the dog chase sea gulls like he has a chance at catching one.
I love going on vacation with my family. There’s no tv, no phone and no computer. It is very relaxing. 🙂
Oh Lauren those are too sweet!!
Very cute cards! My favorite part of summer is all the fresh produce there is to eat. We have three blueberry bushes in our backyard, and have had fresh blueberries for several weeks now. Just got a frig full of raspberries and veggies from a local farm. It all tastes so good!
Summer where I live is awesome. We live 5 mins from the lake, so going to the lake all summer long is a blast. Then we have Thursday Night Markets in our old downtown. Those are so fun and you get to see lots of neighbors and friends there. I also always look forward to 4th of July. We have an annual block party with all of our neighbors!
Cute cards Lauren. Love those Bitzy Bugz.
One this I like about summer is going camping with our friends on Holiday weekends. It is so much fun, relaxing and you don’t have to work!
Hey Girl! Love these cards! They’re both so cute! Also wanted to tell you to check out my latest blog post. You can copy/paste the pic to your blog from mine, if you like. You rock! 😉
Even though I am a grandmother, I love it when it’s time for the lightning bugs.. I remember catching them when I was young, putting them in a jar to use as a light when I would spend the night at my grandmothers in the country.
My favorite part of summer is just hanging out with the kids at the park. They love to go and I get some reading time. I love it. I love the longer days and fresh air.
Great cards, Lauren. I really like the first one.
Both of your cards are so pretty.
Your cards are too cute…my fav is your “Soak up the Sun” card! I love summer….especially camping with our family! Thanks for the chance to win…pick me!!
SO cute !!! LOVE your work !!! WOW …..My fav part of the summer is actually being able to go out fishing and camping and the kids being out of school so we do get to spend alot more time together …………
Lauren – I really love what you’ve been doing with that bug set! Oh so cute! Love the colors on the swimsuit card!
