Host Mary had Lori Craig of Olo marker fame as her guest. Lori will be one of the presenters at the CR in-person event this summer. The wheel was very kind, including landing on Lori's top choice of mini-slim.
- Project - Mini-slim: I typically make mine by folding a 6x6" cardstock in half.
- Colors - Fungi: Loads of options here! I used yellow/white/blue/green.
- Element - Fruit: I grabbed a lemon die set
- Random - Two-toned: I inked my yellow lemons with a darker yellow ink towards the bottom edge.
As usual, I craft more quickly with dies. When fruit came up as a parameter, I knew where I could find my fave Spellbinders lemon. Quickly die cut and assembled onto a mini-slim formed from a piece of Lawn Fawn paper. Added a sentiment that I stamped in the recent SSS class with Jennifer McGuire - done!
I will add my card to Creative Crafters #97 where Anything Goes. I'm also playing at Seize the Birthday #320 using the Anything Goes Option. I used dies but don't really think of this as CAS to meet the topping....
That's it for today! Thanks for visiting and I'll be back tomorrow with a Die Cut Diva post. Hope to see you then & happy crafting!!

What a delightful card, Linda! I love that pretty blue gingham with the lemons. They were meant to be used together!
Love this bright and fun card Linda! xx
I know, cards with dies definitely come together much quicker. Love your cheery lemons. They look great on that gingham background xx
Totally delightful card, Linda! Love the blue/white plaid as the background for your lemons!
