CWC Taste of Summer Blog Hop




Welcome to Cooking with Cricut Taste of Summer Blog Hop!! 
If you came from Court's Craft Corner  you are heading the right direction. If not stop by CWC site so you can get on hoping along! Today's hop is all about the "flavors" of summer. Being a California girl the best part of summer here is all the fresh fruit!! LOOOVEEE stopping by my favorite corner stand and picking up some fresh strawberries, watermelon or cherries, nothing beats fresh fruit on a hot summer day! Nothing except of course ICE CREAM!!!

With that in mind I created today's project. I wanted to capture all the "flavors" I love, but I would have ended up with a dozen cards LOL so I opted to make a few mini cards that can be used as tags or as mini cards for different occasions.




I used Doodle Charms cartridge for the ice cream and watermelon, I used preserves for the strawberries and the lime wedge. The lime wedge was actually supposed to be a watermelon slice, but I wanted to make a lemon slice to use as a tag for a margarita gift set, so I just change the colors and made it a LIME, loved how it turned out. The shiny accents are liquid pearls. 





Thanks for stopping by! Now head on over Janet's Blog and check out the delicious summer project she has for you. Have an awesome weekend!
