TGIF Everyone, I hope you all are having a great day.. Well, it's time for me to share my Practical Scrappers project with you.. The change this week is to use some Summer Themed items on your projects.. The August Sponsor, Sassy Studios. The really some super sassy digi's..

To create this card, I used a fun and sassy digi from Sassy Studios. The ice cream cart and cone are digi's from Digital Delight.. I used my Zooballoo cart for the grass and the side walk was created with gray paper & black marker.. On the blue back ground I embossed it with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder and colored the dots with a white marker.. The ice cream sign and the sentiment were both created on my computer.. To finish this card off, I added some stickles..
