Summer Silhouettes

The Stampin' Up! theme this year is "Be the Difference." After attending convention I really got to see and hear all the wonderful things Stampin' Up! does for others. I came home and wanted to be a difference too. As a mother of 3 young boys, I don't have much time. So, I have vowed to mail out one card a week for the rest of the year. Even brightening someone's day is making a difference.

If you can't tell by now, I love to get inspiration from other blog challenges. This week I took the layout from Create with Connie and Mary and combined it with a color challenge over at Fab Friday.

    I love the way you cut your scene apart for the layout! The one rounded corner is a fun, unexpected detail! Thanks for sharing!
