I have posted 2 cards today. The Strawberry card is first and the pink fringed card is second.
This card represents how I know that summer is here and it is time for school to be out!
Strawberries! I love Strawberries!
My birthday is in June and every year I asked for strawberries and angel food cake.
My mom actually made the angel food cake from scratch. Yummm!
This year our garden produced a 'lot' of strawberries.
I could have ate more. Did I say I love strawberries?
My inspirational challenges for this card are...

I love how it looks like the strawberries are floating in the sky, after all,
they are my heaven!

My second card is a birthday card and is not at all what I imagined. I needed fringe for Pam's challenge at 365 cards. Didn't have any, so I decided to make my own my using a hole punch and weaving the ribbon like the fringe on a rug ( I did a lot of this many years ago on many of the afghans I crocheted) I finally thought about a Martha Stewart border punch, much easier!
BTW - the color in real life is pink, not so red like the picture.
