Mo's Challenge # 82

Here Comes Summer!

(and little girls)

We have a fun challenge this week, "Here Comes Summer!) Mo has so many images that would work for this! 

What could be better than summer berries?! I've done two cards using two of Mo's cute 'berry girls'. I had a third printed up, but didn't get around to coloring the image.

This is "Strawberry Girl", one of the sweetest images ever! I just love strawberry images....they are so cheerful and so much fun to color! 

Strawberry picking in late June was always fun when the kids were young. Some berries would actually survive until we got home! I loved making (and eating) strawberry jam.

My second card uses  "Blueberry Girl." I just had to make her a redhead because of her freckles!

When my husband took our kids camping at White Lake State Park  in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire when they were little, they loved to hike around the lake and pick blueberries along the way. Now he takes our grand-kids, and they love berry-picking, too! 

I don't camp...it was, and is, my 'alone' time. He just bought a hybrid camper complete with shower and toilet, though, so I may have to go along the next time. I will no longer have any excuses not to go!

I was going to use "Cherry" for the third card.  I hope to get her done in the next day or two so she can join her little friends and complete the set.

So let's see what summer memories you can conjure up to share with us in Mo's Challenge this week. You might even win an image!

I have two more little girls to share with you.

This card uses a digital image from Wee Stamps. I love the designs, but she has just a few to choose from. My hopes are that she'll add more.

I used my Crop-a-dile to punch a hole in the center of the blue flower brad so that I could insert the yellow mini brad to make them co-ordinate with the flowers in the image.
