The Kraft Journal Challenge #24

     June 21st is the first official day of summer. It's also my dad's birthday.
     I've had this image in my files for a long time, but when I saw this week's challenge at The Kraft Journal I knew I had to print it out for my DT card. Summer and barbecue--oh yeah! My daughter would definitely want to kiss this cook with that juicy steak on his fork.
     He's actually my second go at this image. The first one was done in more red, white, and blue colors, but when I saw this We R Memory Keepers paper in my stash I just had to use it. So . . . cook got recolored. {grin}  I also ran the top piece of red through an embossing folder and sanded it a little.
     The little star banner was created using stars I cut out of chipboard and covered in some of the paper. They're strung on some Red Baker's Twine.

     For the inside of the card I covered a Card Sleeve Envelope with some of the paper and wrapped some the the Bakers Twine around it.  Before I covered the sleeve I used my sewing machine to sew across the sleeve since it's deeper that the tag.  The tag is a Scalloped Grungy Prim Tag.  I used a little mini stamp set to stamp the cook out details and stapled a piece of Natural Twill Tape to the tag.
     So what reminds you of summer?  Get your entries linked up by 6:00 p.m. EST Sunday for your chance at this months $15.00 store voucher to the Kraft Outlet.
