When Life Gives you Lemons

Had an evening in the craft room tonight catching up and getting ahead as I'm going out tomorrow night to celebrate the "big 50" which happens on Monday. It will definitely be a celebration as two years ago I spent my birthday preparing for major surgery to have a brain tumour removed the size of a tangerine, so I'm very grateful to still be here in good health and able to celebrate this milestone. 

Love this sentiment from Meljens, it's so appropriate in life.

Using another of my prize digis from the Waxfruit Company - lemon blossoms, the image is coloured with promarkers. I printed the gingham and sentiment direct to card then mounted the image on foam pads then a further layer with silicon glue. This has been layered onto lemon card and a white card base. Card is finished with a gingham bow and pearl.

Feeling Fruity

Good afternoon fellow crafters, the sun is shining again and the sun lounger is beckoning me so a quick card for now.

This was already printed and just needed coloured and was perfect for the Less is More lucky dip challenge of Feeling Fruity.

Using one of my prize digis and sentiment from the Waxfruit Company the card is a simple OLC and the image is coloured with promarkers. I've added some peel off waste for the studs on the basket.

Will print off some more of Arielles fruit designs later and see what else I can come up with!

Hope you're all enjoying sunny weather too.
