I'm so happy and proud to have been chosen as part of the new DT at the Paper Mixing Bowl! Ever since I discovered this really fun site back in April, I've been scrap cooking with them every month. I'm so excited to reveal my first LO for them as a design team member!
Take a look at this month's recipe for strawberry shortcake.
Banner-I made the banner and will be showing you how in a minute. It's SO easy!
Die cuts/stickers-I used my Cricut to cut the title and make the banner.
Textured paper- I wasn't able to use any textured paper, but distressed the edges of my papers to give it a little bit of texture.
Directions:
I wrote about a summer tradition using Summer, as a journaling prompt. Here's a closer look.
The watermelon banner was so simple to make, that I almost didn't make this tutorial, but decided to do it anyway. I started by cutting a 3 inch circle out of dark green cardstock using my Cricut, a 2 3/4" circle out of lime green, and a 2 1/2" circle out of red. After distressing the edges, glue your circle together like this.
Then I used black puffy paint to create seeds.
Now just assemble your banner however you'd like. I just attached mine to some black string. Thanks for looking!
The main ingredient is red strawberries, so red is the predominant color.
Utensils:
Contrasting paper patterns-I used polka dots and stripes.
Ribbon- I used lots of different ribbons on this pageBanner-I made the banner and will be showing you how in a minute. It's SO easy!
Die cuts/stickers-I used my Cricut to cut the title and make the banner.
Textured paper- I wasn't able to use any textured paper, but distressed the edges of my papers to give it a little bit of texture.

Then cut it into eighths.
You could probably skip this part if you wanted to, but I inked the edges of the watermelon with red ink.
