Guest designer for C.R.A.F.T.

A few months ago one of my cards made it into the Top 3 in the C.R.A.F.T. challenge, and I was invited to be a guest designer. The August challenge (where has this year gone???) starts today and the theme is 'Summer'. 

The sponsor is All Dressed Up and the prize is two digi stamps.
