The hop starts with Laura (http://lauraleesdream.blogsot.com/). You won't want to miss a single calendar event not to mention the weddings, graduations, birthdays -- ok, you get the idea!!!!  On to my projects...

JUNE 29TH ... CAMERA DAY


Rather than create a card with a camera in it, I decided to do one of my favorite things...and add a photo to my card projects. It adds a nice personal touch. I like to use photos on my thank-you cards. Below is a thank-you card I made for guests at my daughter's Princess bday party.
Then, I took a cute photo and a window stamp and some floral embellishments to make this simple card for my girl's grandparents. Grandparents LOVE photos...
For my son's school, I helped organize their Dance and Graduation. For those events, vendors and some parents donated free items as give-aways. I took a group photo of the students at their dance and used that to cover the Thank-You card.
Just adds a nice touch...

Did you know that June is Fruit and Veggie Month? ... I didn't....Summer time is my favorite time for produce, like melons and strawberries!  I made this card previously, using paper that my daughter decorated with markers.  

Ok, below is a card I made special for this hop, but it needs some help!  To win a $15 Michael's gift card, leave me a comment with sentiment and embellishment ideas...
If Random.org, chooses you...I will finish the card using your idea!  Thanks!

Have Fun...and continue hopping on to the next amazing Calendar girl...

Great cards! I love having the one berry out of the basket for a miss you card. You could say something like - life is berry sweet right now but 1 berry is missing you. Rlovew1976@yahoo.com

Sentiment- You are berry special, or You are berry sweet. Bling Gold Gelly roll pen for seeds on berries. Some pearls on the folded side of the card 3-5 depending on size.
I love your card that you wanted ideas for. It is so cute. You are berry cute would be another good sentiment.
I like that you personalize the cards with photos. They are all so special. Thanks for sharing. Edwina Brown edwina.brown@live.com
