JULY: Midway Reminder for Summer Picnic

Here we are halfway through July and I know a lot of you will be looking forward to the long school holidays (!) and having the kids at home so why not make the most of the couple of weeks freedom you have left to join in our challenge this month, especially as we have TWO sponsors to tempt you with.

This LOTV Strawberries stamp could have been made for this challenge

Painted in Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Teamed with papers from Nitwits and Forever Friends

Personal Impressions sentiment

Heart border from stash

So there you have it, a tasty CAS card - why not have a go this month, you may

discover that making CAS style cards can be lovely and liberating to leave all the fluff behind

Hugs, Squirrel xx

LINKY TOOL HELP

The one thing that we all have problems with from time to time is the link tool going missing.  If you find that this has disappeared from the challenge, please try refreshing your page.  If the link tool still does not appear then you can link your entry via your comment.  The HTML code for linking your entry will be:

<a href="link to post"/>text to be seen</a>  

If you are still not sure, here is an example of what it should look like

<a href="http://squirrel10.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/luv-ya.html"/>here is my entry</a>

(just copy and paste the address bar from your published post)

The space between the first <a and href=, and a space after the last a>
are essential for the link to work.
