Chuck Those Lemons

So, I bet you think the rest of the sentiment below is "make lemonade".  If you did, you'd be wrong!  I was wrong... When I first saw the set, I was certain that would be the ending.  Instead it says something much more fun!


HERE is the ending sentiment below.  Isn't that great?  I sure thought so.  With any luck when  you chuck them back, you'll hit something that will make you feel better!  Revenge is sweet, or in this case sour!


Below is a different angle so you can see why the added lemon is so bright.  I stamped it on Glossy White cardstock and then stamped the sentiment with Momento Black.  It's amazing how quickly it dries on the Glossy cardstock.


I also did one on the inside.  After seeing how shiny and pretty it was on the front, I was afraid a regular lemon inside would be dull.


Recipe:
Daffodil Delight - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Basic Black - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

Inside: Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4"

Randomly stamp the full lemon - once or twice with one inking, then stamp off the rest so that there is only bold lemon.


Thank you for looking in today!  Have a blessed Sunday!

Life in the Heartland

As soon as I spotted this stamp set in the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog, I knew immediately that I needed it and I needed it for two specific people.  Wednesday my stamps arrived from my first full order from June 1st and this was the first thing I made.


My former boss, Karen, retired (and deserted me at the office! I miss her like crazy!) at the end of 2016 and has moved to a little town in Arkansas.  She still has family here, so comes back often and visits.  So this stamp set, Heartland, is just perfect.


Recipe:
Dapper Denim - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Color Therapy Designer Series Paper Stack - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White inside - 5 1/4" x 4"
3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon - Whisper White
Layering Circles Framelits
Stitched Shapes Framelits


This little guy can easily be colored with our watercolor pencils or using ink squeezed into the top of your stamp pad.  However, I've just discovered Chameleon Pens!  I love our Blendabilities so much and when we lost them, I looked for something to use.  My hubby actually spotted these (can you believe it?) and now I'm collecting and using them.  They are so much fun!


Here's every stamp that is in this set.  Isn't it just a great little set?

Heartland - Wood Mount - 143889 - $23.00
Clear Mount - 143982 - $17.00

Thank you for looking in today.  Has your first order arrived or are you still making your wish list?  My wishlist is still pretty long!

Happy Thursday!

Be Still

The very moment I saw this sentiment, was at a point when I needed these words.  It was perfect timing straight from Heaven as far as I was concerned.  How many times have we all needed to hear just those words?



What better background for a message from God than some of His flower creations.  I just love coloring these free "Inside the Lines" pages from Sale-a-Bration.  Going to have to get some more before they are all gone or the promotion ends on March 31st.



Recipe:

Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Night of Navy cut even with the card top to bottom and then 1/8" of an inch bigger than whatever size you end up cutting that works best with the part of the paper you're using.  Mine was 3 1/2" so the Night of Navy was 3 5/8".

Thank you for looking in today!  Thursday is finally here!
