Something Sweet

So I still have this set out on my desk and I'm enjoying making Summer cards. Who doesn't love a refreshing glass of Pink Lemonade on a warm summer day? I've been working on this off and on all day trying to figure out what color to use as the background. This is what I came up with. I love Pink Passion and I just don't use it enough. I added some Stickles to the glasses for some sparkle and some sponging to the edges with Green Galore, I also used Summer Sun on the main image with the direct to paper technique. I finished it off with some ribbon and a flower with a brad.

Well {weep} with the release of the 2007 Stampin' Up Retiring list, I've decided to play with my favorite Summer stamp sets and bid them farewell. Uuggh! I'm so disappointed with this years list, I'm loosing 35 Stamp sets and 7 wheels. BUT, on the positive side that means they just have to replace all of the sets with new ones!! One I do hope they add is The "Cowboy Kid" set from a mini. It sure is a fun one to play with.
So thinking back to summer, I remember as a child my favorite Popsicle flavors were and still are- Lime, and Grape.... Yum! So I made this card with that in mind, I wonder if it has anything to do with them being my two favorite colors too! One other cold treat I remember eating as a child were Orangesicles. You know them, the Orange Popsicle on the outside with yummy vanilla ice cream in the middle. My grandmother would always have a freezer stocked full!!
So now I want you to leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite Summer treat is!
