Sweet Country Summertime

Hey Y'all!

I am going to keep this post short today...busy busy start to the week...not raining yet, but still dark dark dark. Yuck! (I mean look how dark the backdrop is to my photo it is like yuck out there)

Well, As you will see from my make I was in a Country Bumpkin kinda summertime mood! :-)

I already knew I wanted to use my black and white gingham checked patterned paper that was in my stash to go with some sweet red strawberries (Wilson Designs Strawberry Lemonade), so I pulled out my paisley Cuttlebug embossing folder and performed the letterpress technique for a fun bandana like background and Viola our sweet little country summertime greeting came to be.

The layout inspiration comes from Retrosketches.  Being Me...I changed the flow a bit! :-)

The Kraft Journal's Challenge this week is to use any sketch - Well that was an easy one! :-)))

Hope you have a sweet start to your week!
