Has summer arrived at your house? It has at mine and is hot, hot, hot! :) I was in the mood to do a summer themed card today and immediately thought of a stamp by Rubber Dance called Summer Love. It is an vintage image of a couple in swimsuits. What could be more "summer" than that? (Big wink.) The camera and sentiments are by Hampton Art. This card will "play" at the following challenges:

I'm sharing a "just for fun" card today. There's one thing about playing the card challenge blogs...and that is FUN!!!! When I saw City Crafter Challenge's theme was "out of this world" I immediately thought of an alien stamp I purchased many many years ago. That poor alien stamp has not been played with in years...how sad. (Wink.) I was looking for just the right sentiment when I found one by Hampton Art which screamed "put me with the alien." (BIG wink.) Hope my alien card brings a smile to your face...I certainly had fun putting it together. This card is being played in the following card challenges:
