Summer Breeze

Summer - starts next week on the 21st, but it sure feels like Summer here.  School is out - watch out for the kiddos playing outside.  Hope you all are enjoying this lazy time of the year.  Summer brings up all sorts of fond memories – no school, endless play days, sunshine, the Boardwalk, and the beach to name a few.  I remember walking along the beach and feeling the cool summer breeze blowing off the Atlantic.  That brought to mind the song by The Isley Brothers – Summer Breeze.  You might not think you would have cause to make a summer theme card, but how about this one.

When I saw this image, I thought it was perfect for this challenge - making a card for the Summer theme for Bowdabra.
