LEMONADE BLOG HOP

Summertime! What better time than to kick back with a cool drink of lemonade?  Pure and sweet, sour and refreshing all at the same time -- it's a summer staple and something we're celebrating with this Lemonade Blog Hop.

Let me show you my project that I created for this hop:

 This is a two page 12x12 scrapbook layout using 'the lemonade stand' pattern set, the 'photo mat fun' set as well as the dollar bill pattern from the 'chilly treats' set from Designs on Cloud 9.

                                  Here is a close up of page 1.

 Here is page 2. I used the Martha Stewart butterfly border punch on both pages.

I love how the green letters looks laid on top of the black.  It really makes this title pop.

 

I used foam tape under the seeds of the lemon slices in both titles to give it a 3D effect.

 How cute is this stand? I used vellum for the drinking glasses as well as the pitcher for a frosted look.

I just love her!!! 

Look at this cool dude with his baseball hat on backwards. This puppy is so cute ~ looks a little bit like my long haired dachshund!

I wanted to show a close up picture of the photo mats. Did you notice the $ dollar sign $ paper to coordinate with the orange/lemon slice paper? I also did decorative machine stitching on the outer edges of
each mat. I almost went with a dark green thread, and now I wish I had. Unfortunately, you can barely see the yellow thread. Next time I will know. Thank you so much for looking and please feel free to leave a comment. I love getting feedback.
