Summertime

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.

It's that time of month again for me to create and send in my ATC (Artist Trading Cards) to our hostess.  July's theme is Summertime.  There's so many things that come to our minds when we all think of summer.  When I think of summer, I think of:

• water
• lakes
• swimming
• beach
• boating
• picnics
• reading a good book under a shade tree
• eating melons and berries
• games that can only be played outdoors
• flies, bees and mosquito's
• heat
• thunderstorms
• fireworks
• camping
• flowers

So when it came time to do my ATC cards, I had an idea and went with it...

I actually took some sand and mixed it into some paint for my beach.  These are the four that I made to send off...

What comes to your mind when you think of summer??
