The first one was made by Gwen Duckworth. Do you see how she kept this card from being too busy by repeating the colors in card stock & markers and then keeping the ribbon a neutral color? It's a great card!

Cricket Thompson also made a couple of cards with this set. This one has a more subdued feeling - mostly because of the colors she used; River Rock and Marina Mist. The Marina Mist 5/8" Satin Ribbon adds an elegant touch.

This card has great texture to it! Cricket achieved that by using two different Textured Impressions Embossing Folders - Perfect Polka Dots and Petals-a-Plenty. Don't you just love how she accented the bumblebee? That's done by using our Build-a-Brad (pg. 187 IB&C). So simple but it really makes an image pop!

I don't know about you, but with the snow and cold we've had, I'm ready to think about flowers and spring and green things growing. Unfortunately, I think that's only going to be happening in my stamp room for the next few months, but with stamps like the ones in the Sweet Summer set, I think the time will be filled with happy and warm images. Get your stamps soon so you can bring a little sweetness into your own stamping life!
