| Lemons and cherries are always in
season in Elsie’s Kitchen! Fresh fruit, red
checks and black gingham add casual whimsy to July’s
warm-weather appeal. With layering, garlands and
a double-fold pocket, this month’s layout is
perfect for showcasing picnics, garden parties or
other summer festivities. You’ll also use coordinating
papers to create a card that celebrates summer’s
more romantic side…. |
