The Tropical Chic stamp set is perfect for all things Summer. This scrapbook spread was a lot of fun to put together. My favorite image may just be the Adirondack chair because it seems to just scream “relaxation”. Also, that lemonade glass is so inviting. You probably could add more pictures if you wanted to. I like to put it together and then look it over again. Just for the reason that I may want to add more stamping. While the pictures add the story, those leaves on either side of the page give it character.
