Simple Inspiration // Summer Crush

Hi All!  Wendy here to share up some "Simple Inspiration" for ya' this Saturday!  

I've been on the road traveling a bit in my full time job and I usually scout out scrapbook stores on my travels.  I hit the Archiver's in Memphis, TN and had chills to see the papers there!  So HAPPY for Simple Stories and all the great support & love for the collections.  

Still a few CHA Summer '11 projects I have in my stash to roll out in sharing & here's another using the "100 Days of Summer" collection.  I "simply" can't get enough of this one so this tells ya' it's one of my FAVS!  

 

 

Tidbit about this layout...

I SUPER LOVE frozen yogurt and has really been my summertime support system for that ice cream craving :)  Lately, I've seen more & more of these sweet yogurt cafes' popping up in neighborhoods and in my area Moo Che Che's @ Eastern Shore Center in Malibis, AL is quite divine!  Also, a new one just opened 5 MINUTESSSSS from my home and I think I even love it better than Moo Che Che's...eeeeeeek!  I typically go as a reward after a hard day, finishing a project, or a Saturday splurge :)  I always try to render the fact it's yogurt, it HAS to be healthy, but then again when the cup is the size of Texas & the cost is based on weight after all the amazing toppings [insert here, i love the cheesecake minis' as an add-in BUT usually do good & put some fruit on it, thinking daily food groups...dairy & fruit, right? :))]...sometimes I have to think again :))

Anyhoo, here's my capture for my sweet tooth craving...Enjoy!

 

I used this paper from the  "100 Days of Summer" collection and cut it up a bit as below...I seriously used this ONE sheet of paper as my pattern paper for the entire layout! I love both sides of this papers, it was hard to choose, so I just dived in to use both sides :)

Also, added some paper scraps from this collection to some clear acrylic fragments for a neat dimensional effect.

 

Love the Simple Stories + Unity Stamps co-brand stamps!  Here I used the sentiment "sweet summer memories".  All the accents -- letter stickers, tabs, labels, etc. -- in this collection really scream SUMMER colors & just make me happy!

I love these papers too! I really like how you cut apart the number/graph paper, adds a lot of interest!

I've been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, but I never found any fascinating article like yours. It’s lovely worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the web will probably be much more helpful than ever before.
