Renee Zarate's Bolton House is still in New England but Renee herself has moved on to South Carolina. The days are a little different now, no garden to take care of means more studio time. Dealing with snow and blizzards will be a thing of the past but there will be new challenges. Challenges like...how will we ever carry these two chairs and this huge umbrella down to the beach? Stay tuned.

SDC99::Stampotique Challenge "Summertime"
Carol is the hostess this week at the Stampotique Designers Challenge and she is requiring some "sunshine". I decided to make a postcard using one of my favorite Stampotique stamps, a little girl called Mela. The phrase is by DeNami Design. Mela is colored in with Memento pens and has PanPastel clouds in the background with a sun stencil of yellow ink on top of it. StazOn greens, blue and teal on the edges and a couple of stray pieces of tissue tape to finish it off.
You still have time to submit to their challenge. Even if you don't want to submit anything it is always fun to stop by their website and check out the amazing creations by their DT and the submissions.
