HOT, HOT SUMMER HAS ARRIVED and THURSDAY SHOWCASE AT DIGITAL DELIGHTS

It is supposed to be at least 100 degrees F today, yikes!  It has also been SUPER dry here.  In fact, due to the heat and the dryness, a lot of places are saying they may not be able to do fireworks for 4th of July.  I don’t ever remember that happening before!

It’s also SHOWCASE THIRSDAY over at DIGITAL DELIGHTS BLOG and the DT gals have once again created some fabulous projects for your enjoyment.  I hope you will head on over and check them out, and if you have a chance, visit their personal blogs, you’ll be glad you did!

Additionally, there’s a NEW CHALLENGE over at DELIGHTFUL CHALLENGES, so you’ll also want to go check that out.   Don’t forget there’s still time to enter the DT CALL there as well, so if you are interested, go on and apply!

The DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP is also loaded with NEW ITEMS, and a great SALE, so head on over

For my card today, I used DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP images “Presley and Prissy the Pirates” as well as a sentiment from the Ahoy Matey sentiments set and the treasure chest from the Ahoy Matey accessories set.  I colored everything with Copics, Fiskars, Sakura and Atyou Spica glitter gel pens and cut using Lifestyle Crafts die.  Papers are from Basic Grey, K and Co., Bazzill and Core-dinations.  Sentiment cut with Nestie.  Button and blue ribbon from SU, bling from Zva Creative.  Sure hope you like it!
