June Card Swap

June Cards with the theme of 

SUMMER 

"What do you love about the summer".

First is April's - she loves the flowers and butterflies of the summer-time!

 Next is Pam's - she LOVES peaches from the summer time harvest.  She was our host and she graciously provided us with homemade peach ice cream at the swap- YUM! *recipe at the end of this post!

 Margie made these CU-TE popiscle cards for her summer time themed card.

 Angie made a HOME for her summer card - because she loves to be home during the summer.  Angie runs a preschool during the year -kids LOVE Ms. Angie's!

 This is Maria's card - she loves to TRAVEL during the summer time!

 This is my card - I love the summer for it's relaxing time by the WATER - we travel to the lake; but a beach with sand will do nicely also! LOL!  This card features a BELT technique; (link for belt technique here) also a layered punch for waves using the "slot" punch - cricut cut palm tree, coconuts, fish and sun

We had a "light" crew for the swapping this month due to vacations and summer activities.

Here is Pam recipe for the ice cream - you are welcome!
