Summer Fresh....SOOO IN LOVE!!

I have a new favorite right now....have you seen the Summer Fresh Collection from Simple Stories yet????

The colors are absolutely perfect....at least for me...bright, cheery, primary colors!! This whole line makes me so happy!! You will all have to forgive me as you will probably see me use this quite a bit in the near future....hopefully you don't get sick of it...hehe!

And these are the co-ordinating stamps from Unity Stamp Co that just arrived in my mailbox...happy happy mail!

Happy Pinwheels

Never Too Much Happy

With all these wonderful goodies, I went "crazy" making cards all this week...I just couldn't help myself! These cards all just came together so easily!

These first three cards were for the Scrapbook Nook Card Challenge - Put Your Stamp On Summer. We were to use at least two stamps on summer themed cards.

Smile, It Suits You!

Other Supplies Used: Unity Stamp Co - Jillibean Soup Itty Bitty - It Suits You; Bazzill Cardstock; Divine Twine - Licorice; Prima Flowers; Jenni Bowlin Ink - Fountain Pen; Kaisercraft Rhinestones; Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; EK Success/Stampin Up Scallop Edge Punch

Celebrate Summer

Aren't these pinwheels CAAAUUUUTEE!

I layered them up by stamping them twice. I cut one whole pinwheel out to create the base. Then from the second image I cut out just the middle. I then used foam adhesive to pop them up. Put a little button in the center and viola!

This jar is from an older KOTM set from Unity, but it works absolutely perfectly with this line....
