Blogger's Challenge: Summertime

Can you think of anything that represents summertime like the beach, palm trees, relaxing ocean front?  That is one think that screams summer to me...or VACATION anyway!

Today's blogger's challenge theme is SUMMERTIME and I have a few cards to share with you today that represent summer time to me.

The card above was created using the Island2Visit set from The{Stamps}of Life.  The large palm tree always makes me think of summer (and California).  I wanted to create a scene where there was a window, and really loved how this card turned out.

For the next card I went with a more colorful theme thinking of all the wonderful fish in the ocean.

I stamped the little starfish and then used the large one attempting the rock'n'roll method on it (didn't turn out horrible, but not as good as I envisioned it).

Lastly this was a large card that I created, I folded a full size piece of cardstock to make this scene work on this card.  I created a little banner that's floating above the coconut trees and hammock.  I even broke out some chalks for this card.
