I know you've probably already heard the buzz about the new illustrator Debbie Corbari. I had the chance to meet Debbie, who is BFF's with my friend Bethie, at CHA in January. Those girls are FUN! Her sense of fun and her sweet personality flow through her into her illustrations for these stamp sets. This girl has talent and style! And she has SOMETHING ELSE EXCITING to share with you. But - you have to GO TO HER BLOG to find out what it is. Trust me - YOU WANT TO GO! :)
I have two cards to show you today. They are both using one of the new Our Craft Lounge sets called Summer Sweets. Yep - it's illustrated by Debbie! Here you can see a peek at the set in all its cute glory.
This first card is just so bright and summery! I used the first Sketch Challenge that OCL posted as my design and had fun.
The second card makes me want to run out and get an ice cream cone. YUM! This set is just so flexible - you can use it for scrapbooking and cardmaking. But you can also use it specifically for celebrating the Fourth of July, ice cream parties, birthday parties, etc. It's good for boys and girls. Limitless, I tell ya! I used some chunky glitter on the ice cream -it SPARKLES - oh so pretty! :)
*** So - would you like to get your hands on this hot Summer Sweets set??? Here's how - leave a comment here on my blog. Tell me your favorite place to vacation in the summer. On Monday at approximately 12 noon (Pacific Standard Time), I will have random.org choose a winner and I will post it. Good luck!!! Please enter only once. ***

Wow, what great cards! The stamp set is wonderful, includes so many summer images to use. My fave place in the summer is around our pool where we can just vege out! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the stamps. Super cute! My favorite place for summer vacation. Well, lets see. I live in Minnesota so I suck up the summer as much as I can because it only lasts for about a month, haha. But it would have to be a drive up Hwy 61, from Duluth to Grand Maris. It runs along the shore line of Lake Superior, so many places to stop and picnic and play with my kids. It is really great.
I hope I win, I have never won anything before.

what a great set, and I really like the cards that you have made with it!
well, since hubby is the Director of a camp, we don't get summer vacations. and he was a pro golfer prior to that, so no summer vacations then either! ;) so I guess I would have to say that HOME is our fave place to be in the summer! :D but really - the whole fam works out at camp and loves it! we have some of the very best friends in the world that come back every year! we are quite blessed!

SO many work hours so little time to go anywhere but when we can I go home to Pendleton!!!! 4th of July is my FAVE holiday EVER, WAY better than Christmas it's the perfect time to get together with friends..... This set is a MUST have for me!!!!
One of my favorite vacation was Disney World a few years ago!
Love the nice, bright card! Good job!!
I love the samples! These new releases are great. My favourite place to vacation....if that is what you want to call it...we don't really vactaion, we do day trips, but my favourite place is Ipperwash beach. The sand is wonderful and there are lots of sand bars so the kids can go out really far and think they are a million miles away from mom and still be in shallow water.
Fab stamps and cards!!
So many great possibilities with this set, very versatile. I love to watch a huge fireworks display show with my family. The absolute best place to view them though is at Disney....no matter where you look there are fireworks going off at each park. You're surrounded by glorious displays of color.
Great set! My favorite place to vacation is in NC with my parents.
I love the beach, anywhere so long as it is nice. My dream vaca is Australia!
Absolutely love the octopus! Soo cute. My favorite place to vacation is anywhere on the water

beautiful creations!
LOVE the cards, and what a fabby set!! Thanks for the chance!

Diana
My favorite place is Williamsburg, VA. I love the historical sites, and you can't forget Busch Gardens.
Hi Heather, Fantastic cards! My favorite place to vacation in the summer is the magestic Colorado mountains. I am so fortunate that they are my backyard! Thanks for the chance to win :-)
Ooh, this is so cute and versatile! I haven't vacationed in the summer for so long that I can hardly make a guess at that. We are military so we move every 3 summers. I think the 2 summers that we don't move, we try to just stay at home! I would have to say however, that vacationing up at Lake Marion in SC over Memorial Day weekend is always fun.
Love this set and my favorite place to vacation is in my yard with a few moments of silence to hear the birds.
love it.
