A Summer Evening...

There is just something about summer weather and lighter nights that I love.  I enjoy a peaceful evening on the deck sitting in my chair--just looking at the surroundings.  The mountains in a distance, the ocean, the trees...

Today's card is inspired by summer: cheerful colours, a cozy chair and lots of thanks!

I couldn't agree more with your thoughts on summer evenings, especially now that I have a new deck on which to enjoy them! Your card is just darling! I love how you layered the chair on top of the die cut flower, and the way you stamped part of the sentiment onto the cardstock strip. Beautiful job!

i like everything about this card! It reminds me of hanging vintage linens on the clothes line with my great grand mother then sipping fresh lemonade. The patterned laler reminds me of one of her cotton table cloths. Beatutiful card Alli.

Living closer to mountains, oceans and wonderful landscapes is my dream. You are very lucky that you already live in that kind of place. I love your card. Very cool.
