A Taste of Summer

Summertime is really starting to heat up! One of my favorite no-guilt treats is an ice-cold popsicle, straight out of the freezer. But what’s even better than a chilly cherry treat to beat the summer heat? Maybe a scrapbook page that’s sure to add a little sizzle to your summer. 

Here’s what you’ll need to create your own “Hello Summer” Finished Page:

• Summer Breeze Paper Kit
• Summer Breeze Embossed Flowers
• Seasonal Chipboards
• Monochromatic Blue Buttons
• Stitched Rickrack On Spools
• Spring Brads

A few tips to get the creative juices flowing:

• Affix buttons and ice cream treat cut-outs using a combination of Glue Dots® and Pop-Up Glue Dots®.
• Paint “hello” and “summer” using acrylic paint in teal and yellow.
• Create the circles using orange brads. First, trace a round object in pencil. Then, working around the photo and chipboard letter, make marks at equal equivalents around the circle. Use a We R Memory Keepers® Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite to punch holes at each mark, then erase pencil marks. Finish by poking brads through each hole and bending tabs flat to the page. 
• Ever have an eraser take off more than just the pencil marks? Try using a Kneaded Rubber eraser. It won’t leave behind any streaks on paper.
• Cut colorful strips of paper using fancy edge scissors and paper cutters. Then layer them onto the page along with hot pink rackrack.

Take a delicious bite of summer fun with this too-cute page!
