Okay . So, I’ve been in a slump . And needed some inspiration . My dear and wonderful friend Patti told me about the challenges over at CPS  and challenged me to go for it. This is the first time  doing one of these challenges and I must admit it was a whole lot of fun!

The house- mouse image was given to me Thanks Vicky! And I received some more gorgeous images today from Anne. I love those guys they are absolutely adorable.

I used the Stampin’ Up  ( retired ) Designer paper Parisian Summer, some so Saffron SU cardstock and the tart and tangy stamp set. The ribbon is also Stampin’ Up! It’s from the Ribbon Originals line called Dress Up. the itty bitty yellow pearl is from Anne. Thank you! I couldn’t wait to use them. Got em’ today and busted em out already.

Iron Chef Swap May Recipe Card & Updates

For this months recipe card the category was lemon and I was assigned bread or muffins. This is what I came up with.

I used some REALLY retired Stampin Up designer paper called Spring flowers.

some flowers, ribbon, circle and scallop punches as well as the oval and oval scallop punch.

I also used the Stampin Up stamp set Tart And Tangy  for the lemon slices. I think it’s an orange. But looks good to me as a lemon slice .

 

Thanks for looking!

 

I have been under the weather and out of the loop. I hope everyone is doing well and life couldn’t be better. I am so anxious to see the new Stampin Up catalog and the new In color line. Oh.

Many Mower Stamp Set, Rainbow Sherbet Designers Series paper , basic Black Cardstock , Circle Punches and the stamp-a-ma-jig were used for this card. I colored the picture in with the aqua painter and stampin’ Up! ink pads.
