Little Miss Sunshine.

This week the Jacksonbelle Embellishments DT is making summery cards around the theme "you are my sunshine". And while I hate the summer weather (heat and fat girls do not get along), I wish this summer could last forever because come Monday, my own little Miss Sunshine will be starting kindergarten *sniffles*

So today's card was made with some old Cosmo Cricket from a paper pack called Hello Sunshine. With a name like that I knew this pack would have the perfect papers for this card. What's more is that Miss Lindsey is now carrying Cosmo Cricket mini decks - - the new ones Jolly by Golly and Earth Love! I ordered mine this weekend and just need to head out there to pick it up. Soooo excited. You may notice that there is no stamping on this card - - I really just embellished the heck out of it with some fun stitching, ruffling my ribbon, wrapping some crochet thread around it a few times, and topping that with a strip punched from a Martha Stewart border punch.

Be sure and head over to the Jacksonbelle Embellishments blog to see what the rest of the girls are up to!

I'll see you back here at 3pm MST with my card for the Papertrey Blog Hop tonight!

Have a fab Tuesday!
