Cool Treats anyone?



I don't know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods, but it's been steamy and very hot here in Wisconsin and we are sooooo not used to the incredible humidity at all........ick!

We have been staying in the cool AC or swimming in the pool- and my son has been devouring lots of popsicles!! I just had to restock on my trip to the grocery store this morning as there was only one left in the box and he acted like he was going to die if there were no popsicles on hand!

Anyways.....on to the card. A week or 2 ago as I was out cruising along in blogland I saw a cute "popsicle card" and it really stuck in my head. Of course I forgot to tag/ favorite it to give the person credit (shoot!) .....but I thought I would give my hand a try at making one today. I just picked out some fun and bright colored cardstock, taped them together, measured a bit, trimmed a bit, rounded the corners, then scored it down the middle, then scored the other 2 side the opposite way. I used my Spellbinders Nesties labels die for ther sticks. Pulled out my Hero Arts Halloween set for the fun sentiment. Added a bit of sheer ribbon and a blue gem to jazz it ip a bit, and finally used my newest embossing folder from Sizzix.



My son said "Gee mom- that looks really good-now I want a popsicle!" Glad I got more in the freezer.......and here he is enjoying another one of his favorite summer treats! Thanks for the inspiration Joe!!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are keeping cool !!
