Super Summer Slurp!

Some of us are holding on  strong to this last month of summer (raises hand!)  If you are holding on to these warm sunny days like myself, here is a yummy summer slurp from our own Cheryl – aka: gonewiththewind 

PINEAPPLE MOJITO

  • 8 large fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup
  • Juice from 1/2 of a fresh lime (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1/2 cup white rum
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup club soda
  • Pineapple wedges, lime wheels and/or fresh mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
  1. Muddle the mint leaves with simple syrup and lime juice in a cocktail shaker.
  2. Add rum and pineapple juice. Cover and shake vigorously. Strain into 2 glasses filled with ice and top each glass with 1/4 cup club soda.

Enjoy!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
