fruity sentiments

Good morning.  
The challenge this week at 
made me think of "when life gives you lemons...", lemon cards, lemonade cards, citrus fruit cards, apple cards (using the sketch for teachers etc.)

Isn't it fresh?

And here are my cards inspired by the inspiration and sketch this week.

Just For You card
I was inspired by the circle, the lemons, the font, everything!

And my card inspired by the sketch

Every Day is a Fresh Start

I created the pattern paper using a wreath stamp and "sweet life" sentiment, inspired by the font on one of the pillows, and some yellow paint.


To create the dots around the oval, I used a small circular stamp and stamped repeatedly around the oval to create the border similar to the pillow.  To create the lemon, I distressed my paper using Jenni Bowlin ink and then stamped the lemon onto the dried, distressed paper and cut it out.

And the sketch this week

van (car) trips!
