SUMMER OR AUTUMN?

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all well and the week is being kind to you.

Don't worry I haven't lost the plot and ended up confused about what the season is 
.. .. .. this is the new theme for the 


Summer  -  OR  -  Autumn ?

As guest designer for July, out of the two options I chose "summer".




As well as sharing a project to showcase your choice 
you also need to say why your selection is your favourite.

I must admit I did ponder Autumn for a while because I do love the colours that this season brings .. .. 
but Summer had to win as we get to enjoy beautiful long sunny days (if we are lucky),
we can walk out without needing a coat, and hopefully enjoy the odd picnic or two.

Plus the gas and electric bills are always cheaper in summer LOL!!!

So my creation used:

Image:  Penny Black "4083K" Break for Cake
Sentiment:  Crafters Companion "Let's Party" Clear Stamp Set
Backing Papers:  Etsy Digital Download Alphabet Store "Watercolor Strawberry" Paper Pack
ProMarkers
Spellbinder Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies
X-Cut Small Daisy Punch
Pearls
My Trusty Sewing Machine

I hope you get chance to play along and please pop over to here to see what the challenge design team members created.

Enjoy your day everyone and I will catch you again tomorrow.

    And who doesn't love strawberries and cake!! I have a feeling I have that stamp which must have been hanging around for years somewhere in my stash.

    Awww, this card is so cute Jules! I love the little picnic this guys are having. That background is so fun too, looks like a party in the sky! Then there is the little strip of strawberry paper, perfect, just perfect Oh gosh, summer or autumn? That is a hard one. I love summer for the longer days, the warmer days, the sunshine...but it brings hot, hot weather too and our electric bill goes up from running the air conditioner...sometimes non stop. I love it when I can throw the windows and doors open and enjoy the breezes, not the hot, humid breezes. But then without hot weather, I wouldn't enjoy the pool. I love autumn for the changing of color, but hate when the leaves all fall and we have naked trees. I love the sunny, warmish days of autumn where I can throw open the doors and windows too. I don't love when it is rainy day after day like it has been the last couple falls. Or maybe it was my moods that were dark and I didn't see the sunshine. And I don't like the shorter days or what's to come next. But I do enjoy all the seasons, just wish winter wasn't so long. lol So I guess I have to say summer right now. Hugs, Brenda

    Ahhhh your card is super, what a great make. I love both summer and autumn for similar reasons. Love the colours of autumn but like not having to think how many layers I need to put on for summer!! (Although it seems to be a variety of seasons here every day just now!!) Hazel x
