SUMMER

Happy 4th of July to All!! 
I hope everyone has a wonderful day with family, friends and fireworks. I know many displays have been canceled due to weather concerns. Lucky for us we will still have our fireworks display this evening and a full relaxing day to enjoy together.
Summer is a wonderful time of the year and yesterday I put this layout together to celebrate just that. I started with these great papers from the DCWV Fun in the Sun Stack (2009). I fell in love with the word "summer" across the bottom and just knew what I wanted to do. 
After piecing the paper together the way I wanted I cut this fun sun from Just Because Cards in 3 sizes and layered them together. 
I added a simple mat for a 4x6 photo and then came the Stickles! I might have used a whole bottle to complete this the way I wanted but in the end I feel so great about this layout.
Now I just need to pick a favorite summer photo to place inside. This project is getting linked up to the Bitten by the Bug 2: Here Comes the Sun Challenge.  Again, I hope you all have a wonderful wonderful 4th of July.
