Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy Card

Hello everyone!  It's been so hot around here!  It definitely does inspire some of my cards, like this one!  I love drinking homemade lemonade on a hot day....  It's so refreshing!  I was also inspired by my new Scrappy Moms Stamps!!!!!  I would highly recommend these to anyone!  They are such nice quality and they smell good (just like MPS stamps)....  :)  This sentiment is awesome, and my students and I actually say this all the time!  :)  Since it is so hot today, I will share my favorite recipe for lemonade!  Look for it at the end of this post...  As always, don't forget to enter my giveaway ------>here<------- if you haven't already....  :)

A2 sized card

*I stamped the sentiment multiple times on white cardstock using VersaMark ink.  I then embossed it with the sparkle embossing powder and used my heat tool to set it.  Then you can just rub ink over the entire piece of cardstock and the ink won't stick to the embossing!  Sooo cool!  :)  I think it actually made a pretty neat looking background....

Okay, as promised, here is my favorite recipe for lemonade!  I did not come up with this recipe.... I found it on allrecipes.com.  Mmmmmm.... So refreshing!!!
