When life gives you lemons.....

There's a saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade", that often appears on handmade cards. In fact I have a stamp of it myself. But I find it a little bit twee for the kind of person I might be sending a card to, so I was delighted to get a sheet of sentiment stamps from Rubber Dance that put a rather different angle on the phrase. I knew the time for its first inking had come when I saw that over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers this week, Edna wants us to use the theme B is for Booze - a theme that really speaks to me!

I have combined with a background of lemons stamped with the Hero Arts "Stamp Your Own Salad" set.


I am sharing this with

    Utterly inspired! Love this fabulous creation to bits! I agree about this sentiment, I always thought 'grab the gin, or reach for the tequila, where much better ideas! Love what you've done with this fab sentiment and those background Lemon stamps are the perfect finish! Fab entry for our 'Sentiment As Focus' challenge at Sweet Stampin'. Thanks so much for joining in the fun with us this week. Hugs, Wends xoxo Sweet Stampin' DT

    One of my favourite Rubber Dance sentiments, too! And the lemon background is awesome. Of course, lemonade works as long as there's gin to go with it... ;) Thanks for joining the fun at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!
