Past Issues | | | Ahhh, my favorite time of year is upon us! I absolutely adore summer in Texas. I know it is hot but that does not bother me in the least! I love everything about summers from the BBQs to the fireworks to the bright summer colors, especially all the flowers! When I was a kid my grandma always had a porch and yard full of flowers- the brighter the better. I think that is where my love of color began. The layouts below all focus on flowers, bright colors and caught my eye right away. | | | Design notes: Handcut circles out of scraps of overlay.
