ACOT Message Board

This month's winner is wendycrowe! Congratulations  

Welcome to the August Title Challenge  This month,  I am thinking about the phrase, Dog Days of Summer
 
The dog days or dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius, which Hellenistic astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck.

I want to see a project/layout/card using a title showing how you beat the heat ~ aka dog days!
Here are some examples:

A Day at the Beach
Pool Time
Fun in the Sun
Surf's Up
Summer Vibes
Catching Rays
Lickin' the heat
Here comes the Sun
A Sip of Summer

If you have any questions, please send me a PM as I am not on the board as often as I would like right now and miss postings with questions 

Here are the rules:

1) Create a new project/layout/card including the above.

2) Post your creation here (Please post a photo from the gallery, link it if you want) 

3) ONE ENTRY PER PERSON.  You can, however, combine this with one other challenge that allows it. Be sure to list the other challenge in your post Image.  You can also combine with any motivational and/or prompt challenges hosted.

4) Participants will be listed and then entered into THE WHEEL OF NAMES, scrambled, spun, and just like that, we have a winner!

5) Due by midnight on the last day of the month.
