Cooking Out





Hello Hello ~ 


I hope you are enjoying your July so far ~ Mine has been a busy one so far! I'm looking forward to enjoying the rest of the month and August before the leaves start to fall (unfortunately some are falling early this year due to the lack of rain). 


Anyway, it's the 15th of the month so it's time for the Monthly Duel. Our hostesses Tami and Darlene. From Tami I received a really fun kit with a Grilling theme, which is perfect for July with all the BBQ's and family cookouts that happen this time of the year. I absolutely LOVE the image she sent us, which is Grill Sergeant from Whipper Snapper Designs. She also sent some great DP and embellishments, some of which are on my card. I really wanted to use the plaid red from MME and the blue/white polka dot from We R Memory Keepers together. :) I think they go very well together, and also bring somewhat of a USA theme to the card. 


Thanks for stopping by today! Please be sure to go check out the other Divas and Darlings and see what is on their grill for you today ;)

LJ, I totally agree, those two DPs go very well together and do give it a patriotic feel. You've colored this image so well, too! I'm with Debbie, gonna have to steal this layout!
