Hello.  Summer sure is a fun time of year!

I have been super busy in a math meeting this week trying to prepare our testing curriculum for next  school year. I know we just got out and we are already preparing for the next one. I enjoy being a part of the process, so...I am going back next week for the Science portion.

When I get home in the afternoon I have been working on preparing for the 3 upcoming hops (please see right sidebar) that I am participating in, creating cards for my design team projects (Paper Playtime and Die Cuttin' Divas), and then trying to squeeze in a challenge or two.

 Although it has been storming everyday, I am still in the mood for a yummy picnic. Fourth of July seems like a great time to celebrate and have a piece of watermelon with a glass of lemonade. Afterwards if the weather is nice, maybe we can go fly a kite.

I hope you are enjoying your summer.

Stay Creative,

"Punch Buggie ~ No Punch Back"

My daughter loves to play Punch Buggie and every morning on the way to school she calls the same exact blue VW car. It is sitting in a driveway and it must be broken because it seems to never move. Lately she calls it before we drive by or afterwards if she forgets. Now she even calls the name to every car we drive by. I am proud that she can recognize cars by their grill, symbols, and appearance, so I just smile.

I made this card for her and for the Papertrey Pals challenge. You had to create a card using primary colors. 

• Summer in Paris cartridge for 2" car
• Going Places for 1 1/4" Smile
• Cuttlebug folders ~ Distressed and Swirls
• ribbon, gems, primary color cardstock

Before I presented the card to my daughter, I showed my husband. He had to run in the other room and call "it" before I gave her the card. We definitely all had a good laugh and smiles on our faces.

Hope to hear from you,

Georgiana : )
