Happy July, sweet friends! It's time for a fun new challenge at Live & Love Crafts! This month's theme is Sprinkles of Summer. We want to see projects inspired by sweet bits of summertime. ♥︎
My card features Maja Design's Coffee in the Arbour and a gorgeous Wycinanka chippie, which will soon be fluttering to remind someone they are treasured. ♥︎

I have used nearly every sheet of this entire 6x6 pad. ♥︎ I especially love its florals and plaids. These darling daisies dancing in the breeze are summertime to me. The gorgeous Wycinanka chippie is from the Louvre Borders set. Glamour Dust covers the whimsical butterfly, while Wild Orchid Crafts flower clusters adorn the vine. My sentiment is from Whimsical Designs (no longer in business).
Pink Pearl Garland winds through the daisy/magnolia cluster, as I couldn't resist a pop of sweet pink love. ♥︎ The pretty bow beneath is Pure Love crinkle ribbon from my friend Diana of DL.Art. Shabbylicious Ruffle Lace cascades down the side, centered with Double Row Pearl Trim. A Marianne Design Lattice Edge trims the bottom, which is accented with pearls.
Peeking out from the rolled corner is sunshine and Pearl Heart love. ♥︎ Be sure to hop on over to LLC for inspiration from my sweet teamies! Thank you for visiting me and I wish you a sparkly weekend. :o)

Aww Karen, that sentiment was 'made for you'! How perfect. Such a shame they are no longer in business. Too many crafty stores going that way this year. It's a tough world out there. Which is why I'm determined to keep supporting the ones I love. LLC being my fav! I adore those papers. That set is sunshine bottled for me! I love that daisy paper and the gorgeous lemon gingham behind is the perfect partner. I love the diecuts in this one and those fabulous woodchips, so pretty with the glittering. Your creations truly are divine in every detail my sweet friend. Have an awesome day hunny. Hugs, Wends xoxo

So sorry to be late, but it seems I get to visit one bloggy friend per day right now, as the summer activities keep me so busy and away from the home. Your card is so precious, with those pearls and gorgeous lace! I love those daisies, and I agree, these fun little blooms just shout summer to me! Your sparkly butterfly and pearl heart are just those special touches that make your work so incredibly special! I hope you have a wonderful week! See you soon! Hugs!
