Lemons, Life, Love...


What a week!!!

On Thursday night I had the HONOR, along with my partner-in-crime, Lori, of attending a "Copics 101" class at our LSS ... and our instructor was none other than blogland-famous, Laura!  We had such a great time and learned SO much - who knew there was so much to *know*???  In fact, we had SUCH a great time that we signed up to take another class in June!  YAY us!  :)

Anyhoo, while we were shopping at the LSS afterwards, I picked up a Flourishes stamp set I've had my eye on for awhile now - I decided I *had* to have it.  Life, Love and Lemons has been whispering to me, "Take me home...take me home..." How could I ignore it again?

I found Jen's Sketch For You to Try and it was PERFECT for the lemon image:

I popped over to the KL Stampin' N Scrappin' challenge blog to see this week's challenge is a recipe challenge:  
"Easy as 123"
1 Type of Ribbon
2 Designer Papers
3 Embellishments

I thought to myself, "Easy peasy!" and got to work.  Some cutting, pasting and coloring later... et voila!


I still have a LOT to learn about coloring with these fab markers but I *do* like how it turned out.  This new Origins DP from Basic Grey is my new favorite - I just {heart} the colors...so bright and springy!

Thanks for stopping by - enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I like those Lemons!! Great job, and I am a little jealous you went to a Copics class without ME! lol That's what I get for living in the "sticks" none of them close by. :)

Thanks for playing along with our 1-2-3 challenge at KL Stampin N Scrappin this week! Hugs, Kelly
