National Scrapbooking Month: A Taste of Summer Blog Hop

Close To My Heart has an incredible offer for National Scrapbooking Month!  A Taste of Summer is a fresh and pretty paper pack and an optional stamp set available this month only.  My fellow blog hop consultants and I wanted to give you lots of ideas to use with the paper pack and stamp set.  (If you're already hopping then you've probably arrived from Wendy's blog.  You'll hop next to Catherine's blog when you're ready to leave here.)

For this quick and easy card, I started with a White Daisy card stock base and stamped the sentiment from the Taste of Summer stamp set in Pixie, then the flourish in Pear, followed by the dots in Canary.  I tried to make the pink lemon look a bit like lips blowing a kiss by folding it in half and then popping up the top and bottom edges only with 3-D foam tape.  I love the combination of gold and pink shimmer trim with the Pear washi tape.  I also used a piece of the Taste of Summer B&T with the lemon zip strip for the bottom.

What do you think of my pink lemonade twist with the addition of Pixie to the Taste of Summer mix?  I think it's pretty refreshing.

Thanks for visiting!  I hope you're ready now for a Taste of Summer.  Be sure to check out what Catherine has created with this great collection!  {Click on her name after you leave me a comment.  Thanks!}
