Look Who's Having a Birthday

We're having a new challenge at Little Red Wagon and Brenda is leading the way this week. Apparently, it's National Book Lovers' Day (who knew?!) so Brenda is looking for a focus on words.

I just purchased a Kobo in order to purchase and read the story of E.B. White and how he was inspired to write Charlotte's Web, which was one of (and still is one of) my favourite childhood stories. I read the book so many times when I was young - and then read it to my own children! I thought the take on the book would be a fitting take on words, given that Charlotte was able to spin words into her webs. For my card though, Wilbur and Charlotte are focusing on the newspaper - a source of a great many words!

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see what the rest of the Girlfriends' have created - and then link up your own project focusing on words!

You Make Me Smile

Hi friends! I'm excited to be back with another project as a Your Next Stamp guest designer for the month of June. Today, we have a "Summer Fun Kickoff" Design Team Dare. The Design Team was challenged to create a project that celebrates the start of summer using older Your Next Stamp products.

I love summer! I love the water and swimming. I love to camp and to hike. And I also love to sit out in the sun and simply take in the creation around me. That's just what Gardening Phoebe is doing on my card! I used Gardening Phoebe stamps and dies for Phoebe and the sentiment and Gardening Birds stamps and dies for the sweet little robins and their birdbath.

As with all YNS Design Team Dares, there is a prize up for grabs! Simply head on over to the Your Next Stamp Blog to check things out - and leave a comment there for your chance to win!!
