SUMMER IS FUN!

Hello Friends! I hope this finds everyone doing well!

 The inspiration for this layout is the wonderful  photo of my nephew Joseph with  his awesome smile & summer shirt! It has been quite dreary spring in the Midwest so far this year so I thought a dose of summer fun would be the ticket! To me summer is- baseball,flipflops, BBQ & summer shirts!!

I used the awesome Rusted Sun papers made by Fancy Pants & my favorite Bazzil cardstock.

I inked the background paper with Distress Aged Mahogany & Mustard Seed. I then punched sunburts from a punch made by "Punch Bunch" that I purchased at local scrapbook store. I cut them in half, inked the edges & adhered them to the background paper as a border trim!

The banner was made with Bazzil cardstock, & trimmed with yellow cut with my good old deco edge scissors! I added little die cut flowers & buttons for some detail. The banner lettering is Heidi Swapp- originally pink , painted with craft paint & Stickles!

The awesome flourish is from my sweet friend Lucy at SB.com. It is made by her company Flourish with a Bling. I thought it worked beautifully with the summery theme!

I made a fun flower with my new Lifestyle die "Spray" die & my good old Sizzix Big Shot.

 I added the large chipboard lettering from Basic Grey's  Margie line. It was painted with craft paint & Stickles!! Finally I added the teeny letters to journal what summer fun is!
Well after days & days of rain, tornadoes, & severe storms, this layout was a pure fun to work on!  Here's to baseball, flipflops, BBQ & summer shirts!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
