WELCOME to the JULY RELEASE event...and another awesome BLOG HOP with the new DT at The Greeting Farm! Today we have not one...not two...but SIX new releases at the Farm and they are all waiting to come to you, rock your creative minds, and quite possibly, even make you blush :)
....and of course, you know what that means! The BIGGER the release? The BIGGER the prize! Can you believe that ONE lucky winner will take home ALL SIX of the new stamps...the ENTIRE July release! That's one BIG prize!
What's more? Well, we are SO excited about our July stamps that we didn't want to stop there! IN ADDITION, one lucky winner will ALSO be randomly chosen to take home the new Blush Society line, that's 4 stamps in all for this month! Both winners will be drawn as a result of completing the Blog Hop and going back to the TGF Blog to leave a comment...so be sure you get your entry in....and hey! Who DOESN'T love a bunch of amazing inspiration on the way!
My card today is inspired by the SUMMER FUN we are having this week. Whew! Every day I've been to the lake, pool, movies, or some fun activity w/ the kids and this was TRULY a week to remember. We have been HAVING A BLAST, and this sentiment truly says it all w/ little Miss Amelia:
LOVE this "SUMMER FUN" set- it's right up the Diedrich family's alley and I'll definitely be using it again SOON! The papers are the adorable "Hometown Summer" stack from Pink Paislee- could that be more awesomely appropriate? Don't think so! ;)
I have to add that today is a VERY special day for me. 18 years ago, my hubby and I were two crazy kids that had hung out a few times together in a mutual circle of friends. It took him half the summer to work up the nerve to ask me out, and when he finally did, we had known each other for a while by then and I guess you could say he was already 'smitten'. :) heehee. Well on July 1, 1993 we went on our first date and at the end of it, since we'd already been good friends for a while, he said "I love you". TWO. CRAZY. KIDS.
18 years later... July 1, 2011...4 kids later...I guess you could say I'm kinda smitten, too <3 Yayyy!
Alright...onto the HOP! Let's get started...and don't forget to START on the TGF Blog, or head back there in case you get lost along the way :)

Your card is super cute. Love the colors you used in this card.

Awww, congrats on your first date anniversary!!! You do sound a bit "smitten"!!;) Maybe that's the look Amelia has in this stamp. Naw, I think she's been a little naughty and pushed someone in the pool.
I just love this stamp!! She just has to be added to my collection! Love the bright colors and your layout is perfect!

Love hER!!!
She's a cutie, Jess! Thanks for sharing your talent!
BTW, Carisa's link keeps taking us back to the TGF blog, not hers. And could you ask Denice to lax the security on her comments? It is really picky and keeps bouncing me from leaving a comment without letting some cookie thing get on my computer. Sorry to ask, but you are the awesome TGF trouble shooter.
This is fabulous Jess! I love that layout and I really really like the colors of this. (And yes... great minds think alike!)
She is SO cute!!! LOVE your coloring...MUST have this cutie!!!
