August - One of My Favorite Months

There are so many wonderful things about August - hot weather, little rain, a local airshow, the county fair, my birthday.  Oh, yes.  It is almost that time of year - AGAIN.
But for today, it is August 1st and that means a new release at Doodle Pantry.
Here is a card I made with one of the new, beautiful digital sets for August:


I used one of the flowers and one of the sentiments for this card.  I love Magnolias so I am excited about this new set. And this is the free set you will receive with a purchase at Doodle Pantry between August 1 - 24.


For the second card, I made a wreath of flowers, putting the sentiment in the middle.  Oh, the fun we can have with digitals!
The ribbon and bow are seem binding.  I masked the wreath and sponged a bit of Blush ink around the wreath.  The border is a Reflections punch.
Don't forget to check out all the new sets at Doodle Pantry.  I can hardly wait to use some of them.

P.S. About my birthday.  It is in two weeks so stay tuned for a blog candy announcement the first of next week.

    Marsha, both of these creations are show stoppers. I love the green and pink combination and your beautiful soft coloring on the first card. Your second card is a brilliant design -- love the magnolia wreath you created.
