SUMMERTIME MEMORIES

Hello Again Crafty Friends,
While making this card I was remembering all the fun I had as a child chasing and catching lightning bugs/fireflies. I remember the fun times we had at my step-mom's parent's cabin at the lake. There were always a lot of lighting bugs during the Summer nights. I miss those wonderful times and all the fun we had there. We had lighting bugs where I lived at the time, though not as many. Then when I was 19 when we moved to the country, you could see them light up a field. That is what my children grew up seeing as well. There aren't any in Washington, so my hubby has never seen one in person. That makes me feel sad, though I did find some videos online to show him. To me it's another one of God's wonderful creations.

Okay, I have reminisced enough, lol. So here's my card...
 Here's what I used to make this card...
 Digistamp '#8102 Firefly Mason Jar' By: Scribbles Designs
Marco Raffine Colored Pencils
The Paper Studio 4.5"x6.5" 'So-So-Sweet'

I hope you enjoyed seeing my card and it brings back childhood memories for you as well.
I can't wait for you to see my DT card on July 1st, using an image from this set. :)

Happy Crafty Hugs!

    Sherry, I know what you mean....I grew up in the country and went camping a lot as a teen-ager, but many people don't understand what is so natural just outside the city limits. Your card is adorable.

    This is a gorgeous card! I saw glow bugs for the first time last year. Although I didn't live too far from the country, we never went out walking once it had started to get dark.

    Thanks for playing along at Quirky Crafts,

    oooh I love your card, looks so sweet!
    Yeah, it's a shame so many people never have/had the opportunity to witness natures wonders. I always am very aware when I am outside and I see all the little animals and save worms and snails and bugs all the time, especially in summer from the sun and the heat. I wished everyone would do it. It's their planet too and who am I that gives me the right to think they are worth less.
    Makes me happy to read that you have grown up in nature :)
    Hugs, Ally
