Let's Make Lemonade!!

Hi friends & Happy Tuesday!! Sorry no postie yesterday from me, but I spent the day at my mom's and picked up the kids--it was a good time w/o the kids, lots of hubby time, hee hee! We had some great dinners & some shopping sprees of course, LOL--I got new furniture for my NEW craft room (more details to come--me sooo excited), scrappin' goodies and new bedding for our bedroom :o) And that's sayin' alot cuz' my hubby HATES to shop but he indulged me this weekend & we also didn't have any kids whining that they were bored which helped, giggle!! I also finished up my daughter's bedroom so it is now a beachy-teen hangout--we just have to spray paint her lamp & some shadow boxes this week & it will be done--I'll share pics soon! So a very fun & productive 5 days!! And lemme' tell ya it is HOT here in VA--supposed to be 105 degrees today--wowza! I'm stayin' inside & craftin' all day long--kids will play with friends & stay cool inside! Speakin' of stayin' cool....let's move on to my project for today!

**********************************************
NewsBitz:


-Susana's Store now has the BRAND NEW Spellbinders in (all new labels that I love & ordered all of, shhh...don't tell, lol), new Pink Cat Studio Stamps in and fabulous beautiful Tear Drop Dew Drops!! So make sure and stop by to check them out!!
******************************************************

So it's Tuesday, which means it's Try It Out Tuesday for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design and today I've challenged the DT to use pink, black & yellow on their projects!! I adore these colors together and I was lucky enough to use this fabulous Basic Grey "Urban Prairie" dp!! My layout was semi-CASED from this card HERE by Laurie of Just Give Me Stamps (who does just beautiful work & I'm always in awe)--I loved the elegance of all the elements!

I used the fabulous Lockhart Stamp Co. stamp "Lemons & Bayleaves" and colored w/ copics to match the dp--the lemons have diamond glaze on top and stickles on the leaves. The buttons, ribbon & sentiment are all from Paper Trey Ink and the black cs was embossed w/ a Cuttlebug Folder. I half circled my main image with Kaiser Pearls in black to finish it off! Just a simple & elegant notecard for someone special!!

Now make sure & stop by Susana's store blog "Follow Your Heart" to see the rest of the DT's fabulous projects today!

See ya back here tomorrow!
