Summertime and the livin' is easy...

Add caption
How much simpler can it be to create a tag that features summer and an easy way to make a background that Tim has in book 2, Brushless Watercolor?  SimonSaysStamp&Show wants you to feature a summer holiday and the 2nd compendium challenge uses the technique found on page 49. 

My favorite part of summer is the unofficial start (Memorial Day) and the 4th of July.  I do believe my blood runs red, white and blue.  My #8 tag uses Americana Silhouettes and Ticket To Art (Stampers Anonymous) stamp sets; Ranger products (Frayed Burlap, Scattered Straw, Fired Brick, Faded Jeans distress inks; Jet Black archival ink; MultiMedium); tissue tape and grungeboard (Advantus) and 3 Sizzix dies (mini flag, star, ticket).

Both challenges have shopping sprees for randomly picked winners.  This week's sponsor at StudioL3 is eclectic Paperie.  Who doesn't like a chance to go shopping?!?!?!?
