Lemons

I really wanted to create a card using Stampin' Up's new In Color, Starry Skies addingyellow accents.  Lemons came to mind.  I used Starry Skies cardstock, ink, pattern paper and adhesive dots. I stamped and colored the lemons and leaves using Sweet N Sassy's stamp set Summer Fruits. When I was finished, there was too much white space.  So out came SU's Timeless Textures set and ink to fill in that space.  Have a great week!

 A couple of weeks ago, Matt took me to Kingsport to attend a Stampin' Up card class.  It was hosted by Robin Broome, a Stampin' Up demonstrator from Kingsport, TN.  It was so nice to get out again and be with ladies who were stamping.  We made pretty cards and today I am posting one of them.  The daisy punches were always a favorite of mine.  Unfortunately, the larger daisy punch is retired.  I was reminded  of the days when I was teaching classes.  I will say though, it was fun to be the student~~all I had to bring was myself!  Robin did the prep work and I just enjoyed.  My demonstrator from back in Illinois, Cherie Lukowski, had sent me a copy of the new annual catalog.  So with a renewed joy of SU products,  I have already placed an order from the new cattie.  It arrives today~~yay!  Have a great week!

Smiles

After Sydney told me about her honor awards, I was going to make her a congrats card.  I an so very proud of her and her accomplishments!  But then today's card was sitting on my island and I thought it was perfect.  She does make me smile and has since she was born~~the sentiment was perfect.  Have a great day!
