Welcome to the Paper Garden Projects Summer Stroll Garden Walk

Take a stroll through the blogs of  the Paper Gardeners and enjoy some friendly inspiration. This month we are focusing on some big summer fun.

While you visit, subscribe to each Gardener’s blog and take note of each designer’s name and their special summery garden walk word in their blog post. Once you finish your garden tour, send an E-mail to custserv@papergardenprojects.com with the list of designers and their garden walk word.

Everyone who sends the correct list of designers and words will be entered in a random drawing to win a prize. You need to send an e-mail to the address above; please don’t leave your list as a comment. You have until midnight (EST) on Tuesday, June 22 to send your list.

And the prize? How about this fun beach unmounted stamp set from Kraftin Kimmie – Mae (love that hat!).

So enjoy the garden tour (don’t forget your sunscreen).  Here is the garden tour guide list:

• Cathy (You are here)
• Amber  
• Tangii  (Tangii is having technical difficulties, so her word is “Camp”)
• Erin
• Andrea
• Alyssa

 I’m still in the beach mood – so for my project, I chose to use Eleanor(another Kraftin Kimmie stamp).  I love these beach images.   To me, they are both modern and retro at the same time! 

I paired Eleanor with some Flutterby Patterned paper.  I love those flowers on her bathing cap (anyone remember those?) and wanted to accent them with the background paper.  I paper pieced her bathing suit and added a little copic marker shading.

I like pairing these sassy images with sayings that are just a little sassy too.  This stamp is from my stash (from River City I think).  The inside says “Coincidence?”

I’m planning to give this card to a friend that has had a lot of “stuff” happen in her life lately.

So that is my project.  I’m Cathy and my Summer blog hop word is “Play“.
