Summer Splash Blog Hop

It’s time for the monthly DeNami Blog Hop and this month the theme is Summer Splash. If you started from the beginning, you should be coming from Dana Seymour’s blog {this girl has the greatest tropical cards EVER}!

The name of this hop immediately prompted thoughts of drinks and I thought I’d go a little different route and create something other than a card. After playing with my options, I decided on summer straw toppers. They’re super quick and easy to whip up and they could make any BBQ or party a little more festive.

Be sure to leave comments on each blog stop. We’re giving away gift certificates to two random comments  and with the new release here, you’ll definitely have fun shopping!

If you follow my blog, you know I’m a fan of these adorable striped paper straws by Little Free Radical. They could make any special occasion more festive and who doesn’t love sipping yummy drinks out of pretty straws? I pulled out my orange ones for this hop, but there are so many other colors in her store…. you really could have them match whichever color palette you’d like.

In case you’re wondering which stamps I featured today, I used the Medium Solid Hibiscus and the Large Solid Bamboo Leaf. These solid images worked so perfectly with my new neon inks {you’ll see which ones in my haul video tomorrow}.

It’s time to head on over to the next stop of the hop: Ardyth’s blog! This gal has such creative ideas and the way she showcases DeNami stamps is astounding. I can’t wait to see what she created for this hop.

I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for a small haul video featuring some goodies I’ve been eying for a while. I still haven’t decided what else to include in the post, so you’ll have to stop by and check it out! *wink*
