“Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!” Nat King Cole’s 1962 classic reminds us of all the fun that summer vacation promises. Road trips to the mountains, lake, shore, or perhaps a vacation in a tropical destination—all these can create great memories.
Stamp artist Aimee Eliason agrees. “When I think of summer vacation, I imagine a trip to the coast, beach, or shore—whatever you call it. And when you’re near palm trees, it’s usually sunny.” Her sunny artwork is shown at the top of the Home Page and on this page.
Summer vacation brings back memories of road trips for Jeanne McCarthy—her ATC is shown below. It took just two stamps to make this scene. The road, rocks, and grasses are one stamp, the car and background another. Jeanne likes General brand pencil colors for coloring scenes like this.
