Summer Theme For July!
Welcome to our weekly Creatively Simple at Create With Stamping Friends. For the month of July, our theme is all about SUMMER!
I have so many flower gardens on our property so I opted to use flowers for our summer theme this week. One flower that I don’t have in my gardens are snapdragons. Just working with them for my card makes me want some now!
The Inspiring Snapdragons is a neat bundle if you don’t have it yet. You can stamp snapdragons, diecut snapdragons or use both like I did on my card.

- Stamps: Inspiring Snapdragons
