When life gives you lemons ...

... make lemonade

I was asked to make another card with this saying. I found the lemonad picture and the clipart saying, put them together and mounted them on to a scrap piece of Papermania lemon sorbet paper. The background paper is from a pad by Raspberry Road papers. I cut into the design in three places to slot the checked paper into. With the addition of the flowers and the gems, the card was done.

Inspired by the yellow colours of the inspiration picture given for Alota 88:

CHNC challenge 84: favourite colour(s)

We're into August now and getting nearer to the time when some people start thinking about making Christmas cards. Of course, some of us have been making them all year, which is why I started my CHNC blog at the beginning of last year so that I wouldn't be panicking towards the end of the year.

So it's time for CHNC challenge 84 which is to use your favourite colour(s) - couldn't be simpler!

I love using purple in cardmaking, particularly for Christmas cards. I've kept my card simple and have used card and other bits from the 'classic' section of the Hunkadory luxury card collection. I added a heart that has been in my Christmas bits box for a few years (originally came with a Kanban kit), which I mounted on silver mirror card and added some silver and lilac gems.
