Hello all! Here is this week’s Bloom of the Week!   I love the summer pictures, the design with the focal photo lined with smaller pictures and the circle behind it. I also love the sun with the flourished stickles on the overlay! This is just such a fun layout! Congrats to Tracey!

Be sure to visit the gallery and leave her some love!

I am so inspired by all of the gorgeous layouts, cards and projects that the Daisy Girls have been working on.  I love this one Kristii did with this month’s kit, such an adorable layout and precious picture:

Did you know that the first Sunday in August (this coming Sunday) is Sisters Day? The 3rd of August (Sunday) is also Friendship Day. I made this fun and quick card for my sister to send to her for Sisters Day.

I used some paper from this month’s kit and this month’s add-on kit which includes Doodlebug Velvet Flock, SR chipboard butterflies and Bazzill Just the Edges.  I added some Stickles to the butterfly to give it some more detail.

It was my first attempt at flocking, and it is just too much fun! I am going to have to do this more often.

We’ll be posting our August contest by Friday and we will start our Weekly Challenges next week. So for a warm up here is a mini-challenge for you:

In honor of Sisters Day or Friendship Day (if you do not have a sister), make a card and send it to your sister (or a friend).  Use some flock if you have it.  We want to see it. So post it in our gallery and post a comment here with a link to your card.
