Catered Crop–Summer Lovin’

 

Linda has a fun recipe swap at the Catered Crop.  This challenge is all about summer!

I don’t know about where you live, but here in Wisconsin it took a long time for summer to arrive this year.  Now the weather has warmed up and we can get outside to enjoy all the fun.

For my Summer Lovin’ project, I used this adorable bear from Di’s Digi Downloads.  I won her a while back but hadn’t had time to color her.  I’m so glad this recipe swap gave me the perfect reason to break her out.
