Here in Ohio the sun is shining really bright and the sky is blue.  Makes me think of summer.  I rushed through this project today so I can hurry up and head out to my perennial gardens to get dirty and feel the sun on my face.  I hope you are in a position today to soak up the sun as well.

I used one of the new Stampin’ Up Stamp Sets “Just Beachy” that is in the new Occasions Mini Catalog.   If you are in the USA and don’t have this new mini catalog and would like a copy, e-mail me at mzindorf@aim.comand I will get one out to you or I will send you the Internet link to view it if I run out of catalogs.

Let’s get started 🙂
