Hello My Friends! And welcome to the Once Upon a Monthly Challenge #2. I am a host of the July month. It is the middle of the summer season that is why I decided to challenge ourselves and create a card which will show something we enjoy about summer.
Since I live in a state where we have all four seasons including winter, summer is the only season when we can cook on our barbeque! This year we try to grill not only hotdogs or steaks, but veggies too. And they taste so good and also good for you.
Now you will understand why I chose this cutie (Just One More) form Lily of The Valley Shop. When I saw this stamp, I told myself:” I need it!” About a month ago there was a great sale with free shipping to any place, so it worked perfect for me. This store is located in UK, but to my big surprise I got a package in a week! I was a very happy customer.
For the layout of my card I stopped at the Splitcoaststampers forum and was inspired by the Sketch 288.
Would you like to see a card that Ida created? You really need to see it! It is so beautiful! I mean really she is very talented lady!
Last month some of our readers asked if they can join us for this challenge; also some of you played already (Thank you Susan, this made me very happy). We decided with Ida that anyone can join our challenge, just live a link to your card at Ida’s or my blog. We would like to see what makes your summer enjoyable!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Thank you for leaving your comments! They are always appreciated!
See you soon,
Elena

The card is beautiful. It’s the only barbecue we will be enjoying at the moment, we have rain

Yum! Elena, I just adore this sweet card and am so happy to be the recipient of it. It’s just so cute and charming. I love BBQ too especially a yummy hamburger with a slice of a Walla Walla Sweet Onion. Thanks for doing this challenge with me.
