Lemons in Life

Everyone has heard the traditional when life gives you lemons..........saying.  When I saw this greeting at a recent stamp show I had to buy it.  They #techniquejunkies also had the background stamp so of course I had to add it to my purchase too.  I also knew I had a retired Stampin' up  lemon stamp to finish off any card I would make.  Which version of the card do you like best?

Last Lemon

The designer paper in the background is fun to use.  It is white on white glossy paper that you sponge with any color you want.  I got two packs free during sale a bration because I can make it whatever color I want to match what I am making.  This is the last lemon for awhile.

Lemons, Lace, and Burlap

The lace is actually a paper doily.  The burlap came from a bag and I forget what was in it.  What ever it was DH opened it and said I think you can use this on your cards.  Yep I have seen it on a lot of projects and just didn't want to buy any.  I think I may have one more lemon card made up to show you and then off to another stamp.

More Lemons

Is it ok to send a birthday card with lemons on it?  I hope the person that receives it doesn't think I am wishing them a sour birthday.  I don't think they will but will focus on the bright colors on the card.

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Make Lemonade.  I have a hard time following that expression.  I do like lemonade and have a recipe for a great blackberry lemonade.  The problem is I like it sweet and that is way too much sugar so I don't make it often.  The next several cards will feature this stamp set.
