Stampin' Up! Sweet as a Peach

 

Hello & Welcome!  I hope you are having a marvelous Monday (or whatever day you are reading this). 

 When I bought Stampin' Up!'s Sweet as a Peach Bundle, I did so because everybody I know loves peaches and we live in what has been called the Peach Capital of Texas.  Back in the day, there were tons of peach farms around here, and watermelons.  Personally, I've always enjoyed the watermelons more!  However, it turns out peaches make lovely cards!  This stamp set has beautiful images, sweet sentiments and perfect fonts.  I highly recommend it if you, or anyone you know likes peaches!

Today's card was inspired by this sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  This is the last day for this sketch challenge, but you can join the next one.  Or, look through their archives for tons of sketches to inspire your next project.
