Hello Everyone! Donna here, your host for the blog today. Wasn't yesterday's blog hop fun?! I certainly enjoyed going from blog to blog seeing all the great ideas shared by my fellow teammates. I hope you did too!
I'm going to keep today's post short and sweet. I want to share a layout I made recently using Simple Stories' newest collection, Summer Fresh.
It seems that the whole team is in love with this collection, and I am no exception! A couple of months ago when I first saw the sneak peeks for this collection I knew it was going to become an instant favorite. I love the primary color palette, and the designs of the patterned papers. Denim! Burlap! Text!! Simple Stories truly makes scrapbooking easy, all of the patterns just works so well together.
I made these clouds and the sun with my Silhouette. Text clouds... they make me happy!
And I love the sticker sheet from Summer Fresh:
The word stickers, the decorative tape strips, the little flowers and strawberries - all these pieces make it so simple to add a little something extra special to your layouts.
I know I'm going to have fun scrapbooking this summer's memories with this collection. How about you? What are you scrapbooking with Summer Fresh?
Before I go, Scrapbook Trends is sponsoring a giveaway here on the Simple Stories blog. Comment today, and everyday from June 5th-9th for your chance to win a free copy of Scrapbook Trends' June issue featuring our fun Fabulous collection! Winners will be announced on the blog next Tuesday.

Such a fun page with the text clouds and the blades of grass. This is my favorite collection right now. I've made a couple of layouts (one about my daughter's upcoming transition to sixth grade and one about one of her dance costumes for this year's recital) using it and a card.
