PIO - The Great Outdoors

Get the sunscreen out it's time to hit the beaches.  Sadly, if you live around the Gulf Coast  it's also the rainy season so you might want to have a backup plan that doesn't involve the great outdoors.  You can always play along with us at Pile It On where the challenge this week just happens to be "Let's Get Outdoors".  We're sponsored by Simon Says and everybody can find something in that store.  If you're like me you can find TONS of stuff there, so go get inky and play along. 


Here's the deets:
stamp - Mo Manning "Still Summer"
ink - hp printer
paper - Bazzill "Glow" and "Tangelo" cs; My Mind's Eye "Stella Rose - Hattie Papers" dp
