5 Senses of Summer Challenge - Link up here!

Hello - TGIF, and TGI New Challenge Day!

Just as Chriss said, summer is a rich sensory season! For smell, I think of sunscreen - we use a lot of that in my house! I also think of salty sea air at the beach - I can't get enough beach come summertime! For sound, how about waves lapping at the shore, seagulls crying, happy children calling and playing around the neighbourhood - or the oh-so-annoying drone of a mosquito somewhere in your room at night? Touch - bare feet on grass, the 'peach fuzz' of little boy summer buzz cuts, cold droplets of water hitting your skin as you duck into your neighbour's sprinkler...Sight - the flip flop tan lines on your feet, the riotous colours of a flower or vegetable garden, and the butterflies, dragonflies, or honeybees busying themselves there? And taste...oh yes. Berry season! Fresh peaches. Watermelon. Sweet corn on the cob! Iced coffee...Yes, summer is definitely a rich sensory season! What do the senses of summer mean to you? Share with us!

Summer Senses by Karen Thind

This week we are playing with the theme of "The Five Senses of Summer".  Over here at our house the month of August has been filled with new sounds of music.  The girls have started to take music lessons and so we (and since the windows are open, the neighbours too) have been privvy to many beginning sounds and songs.  With one taking piano and the other choosing the violin, we are ready for a duet!

Supplies : Bazzill cs, Jenni Bowlin pp, Crate Paper pp, Prima flowers,

Marth Stewart Butterfly punch, ribbon, gems, Artsylicious letters

The ribbon is just wrapped around the flowers and over and under the butterfly wings. I added a few glue dots to keep it in place.

We'd love to see your take on "summer senses" and join in by linking your project so we can all enjoy it!
