Summer Lovin' Tour de Freaks

This month the Tour de Freaks are focusing on Summer Lovin', meaning we love ALL the summer stuff! You may have landed here from Melissa's blog, The Runner FUNatics. If so, welcome! Be sure to follow the links at the bottom of each stop to visit all the Freaks.

When I think of summer, I think of cookouts and gardening. And Grace's Garden is the perfect way to celebrate everything that grows (rather prolifically) around here.

Doesn't this just remind you of the book/movie The Secret Garden? I love how the gate is an invitation into what lies beyond.

And if that kitty is anything like mine, he's doing the head-bob, gauging how much of a leap it would be to reach that bird. And that's one reason why Da Punk is an indoor cat, LOL.

Up next is sunflowers! OF COURSE it would be sunflowers, because what is more summery than blue sunflowers?

What? You've never heard of blue sunflowers? Well, I haven't either, but since blue is my favorite color, and I can make those blossoms any color I want, well......

I am so in love with the Misty Moonlight In Color! It's just such a cool, clean color, isn't it?

That's all for me today. Up next is Tami over at Swimming in Stamps!

Saturday Christmas in July

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is "Christmas in July" which is perfect for me because we have new preorder holiday stuff to play with, and this is the time of year that I really need to get serious about getting my Christmas cards done. Yikes, Christmas will be here before you know it!

I was tickled to see how well two of the new Aug - Dec Mini Catalog stamp sets go together. The very adorable Warm & Toasty singing bunnies were a perfect match for one of the greetings in Christmas Means More.

Seriously, are these not the cutest little group of carolers?! And I can just hear the Elf character Buddy saying this, can't you? *smile*

That's my share for today. Now click the Next button to jump to Libby Fens at Libby Stamps, or the Back button to see what Mary Brown at Stamper Camper's Corner made!

Christmas in July

Today is my ELEVENTH Stampin' Up! anniversary. I'm so glad I got over my (totally unfounded) fears and took the plunge into joining the SU family! So what does this have to do with Christmas in July? Well, I'm glad you asked!

The new Aug - Dec Mini catalog starts August 4th, and to celebrate it and perhaps motivate you to start your Christmas cards a.s.a.p., I'll be posting Twelve Days of Christmas in July cards beginning July 20th. Each day there will be a new card to inspire you!

And to make it even better, anyone who orders a Christmas bundle in August from the new mini catalog will receive a card kit from me with pre-cut supplies to make four cards. You just have to stamp using your stamps and ink and assemble with your adhesive. That should give you a good start on your holiday cards!

This card uses the adorable Warm & Toasty cling stamp set, available August 4th!
