Lemon Branch Birthday

Hey friends - it's a beautiful day in Minnesota with a high of 84F expected - unseasonably warm but I'll take it! I made time this morning for crafting & created a lemony birthday card for Just Us Girls #774 where the word is FRUIT!

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;

Paper Studio A2 card; Momenta watercolor print;

Lawn Fawn Spring Perfectly Plaid; scraps

Dies - Spellbinders Citrus Spritz &

Blooming Pomegranate;

Hero Arts Infinity Arches (sold out)

Memory Box Happy Birthday Celebration Script 

Embossing folder - Spellbinders Summertime Citrus Twist

Other - Tim Holtz sentiment sticker

I'm signed up for the sold out Spellbinders Weekender event coming later this month. My box of supplies arrived while I was out of town but I opened it when I got home Thursday. A sweet lemon die set from this box came to mind when I saw the new JUGS challenge.

I wanted to do a lemon branch but couldn't find my Sunny Studio branch. Then I thought of the branch in the pomegranate set that Bobby used on her card. I just popped lemons and lemon flowers on it, instead of pomegranates! I die cut all the parts and assembled the branch. Die cut an arch and embossed it with the citrus slices & added to a plaid stitched rectangle on an A2 card. Added the branch, using foam tape under parts of the lemons and some flowers. Added a birthday die cut and sticker from the bits box.

It's D for Dies week using Darnell's IDEAS schedule (see her inspiration HERE) so I'm playing there too, as well as at NBUS #74 since my lemon set is newly used. So is the embossing folder, for that matter - I'm way behind on using some of my Spellbinders boxes!!

Quick post today - I have to put together a fruit salad for our chorus pot luck dinner tonight. We'll also be presenting longevity awards and I'm up for 45 years with Sweet Adelines International (I joined young - LOL!).

Thanks for stopping and have a crafty week!!
