Sweet Summer Treats

I'm not ready for summer to end and the Hand Stamped Sentiments isn't either!  We are holding on to the last bit of summer with a sweet and refreshing Inspiration Challenge for you to play along with this week!

I was inspired by the ice cream photo and had some fun creating my own Lemon Lolly ice cream cones!  I stamped the scoops of ice cream from Share a Milkshake in Lemon Lolly onto a Pecan Pie cone with the cutest little So Refreshing lemon tucked into each scoop.

I created my own DSP by stamping the lemons from So Refreshing in Lemon Lolly with Granny Apple Green leaves. So cute!  The only thing left was a sweet sentiment stamped in Granny Apple Green.  Sweet, simple and so refreshing!

I hope you'll join along in the fun and share what you were inspired to create.

Happy Stamping!

How Does Your Garden Grow

Welcome to this months Control Freaks Blog Hop where we are featuring our favorite plants and flowers.  You may just be starting or you may be arriving from the charming blog of Cindy Elam...either way, be sure to hop all the way through to see what we have in store for you today!

Next to stamping, my other favorite hobby is my flower garden.  I have an entire corner of my yard dedicated to flowers and I look forward to working in in every spring and summer!

The new So Refreshing stamp set is so cute!  I always love a pitcher full of lemonade, but a pitcher full of flowers is just as good!  

I stamped the pitcher in Smoky Slate and added some stamped off Pool Party water.  The flowers were stamped right into the pitcher!  The Granny Apple Green stems and Calypso Coral blooms are just gorgeous!  I stamped one more set of flowers to lay across the cute Lost Lagoon table cloth...I love this die cut element!

I wanted a simple little sentiment to tie around the pitcher and the For You from Country Bouquet was just perfect!

Next up is Debbie Henderson ...you're going to love what she has to share with you! 

Happy Stamping!
