Cool Summer?


It's been hot, hot, hot! here in Wisconsin this summer. I can't really recall a summer this hot and humid. Our air conditioning went out over the fourth of July and it was most miserable, luckily, a few changes in the settings on the thermostat brought things back to livable conditions.

The Craft's Meow

Mabelle R-O has another stamp debuting this month for The Craft's Meow, Summertime with Fibi & Lilly, which also happens to be July's Gift with a  $50 purchase! I decided to make a nice addition to a plain ol' water bottle by inking up a kraft envelope with to ink up the cute little sand castle included in the set with some fun kitten images, and colored it lightly with pencils. I attached the envelope to the water bottle with some twine, and tucked in a juice packet. Wouldn't these be fun for a children's summertime party or to take along on a family picnic?

Once again, there are some amazing creations over on The Craft's Meow Blog created by the wonderful designers and illustrators, along with our guest designer Naomi that showcase Summertime with Fibi & Lilly. Please be sure to stop by The Craft's Meow Blog for your chance to win this cute set featured today!
