Dynamic Duos Debute (DD#1) and Creative Card Crew #10

Hello Friends!  I love the saying about "When Life Gives You Lemons..." - but this is even more fun :o) - BIG grin.  Seems like I have been receiving my share of life's limes lately so I literally laughed out loud when I came across this stamp set.  Thankfully, I still have more blessings than limes!  It was nearly 80 degrees here today - oh boy would it have been wonderful to sit on the porch with a couple of my best gal pals and some of those pesky limes :o).  I'm excited to enter this first ever Dynamic Duos Challenge.  The fun colors for this first challenge of Lucky Limeade and Pool Party worked perfectly for this card.  Congrats Lesley and crew - I'm looking forward to fun things from your group! Your debute creations are wonderful and inspiring.

I am also participating in another fun challenge from the design team at  Creative Crew Challenge #10 - Sentiment as Focal Point.  I really like this challenge because I love words and sayings almost more than I like the stamped images - to me the images really enhance the sentiment.  I'm hoping this sentiment focus will get someone giggling like it did me. 

Here's how I finished the inside (notice I used some more of those fun Dynamic Duo colors):

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit my blog. Hope you enjoyed my card!  I love to see my viewer numbers climbing.  I like to think that this means I have had one more opportunity to inspire someone. I enjoy getting your comments too - so please feel free to leave me a note. Hugs!

Details and supplies: Cardstock - Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Whisper White (Stampin Up!). Stamp set - Unity Stamp Company & jillibean soup (When Life Gives you LIMES).  I embossed the drink glasses with black embossing powder then used blender pens and Lucky Limeade ink (the inside glass was done the same way but with Pool Party ink). the "salt" on the rim of the glasses is the Dazzling Details glitter glue from Stampin Up!. To get the two toned sentiment, I colored it with Stampin Write markers in Pool Party and Lucky Limeade.  The background paper is my own personal design (grinning) which I made using an older Stampin Up! set called Tart & Tangy and randomly stamped all over the Whisper White piece (random is hard for me - I still want to make it fit into a random "pattern" - but I resisted the urge this time and just went with the flow). The border strip on the bottom is from My Favorite Stamps Die-namics - Mini Monarch Border (the border on the inside of the card is the reverse piece of that).  I finished it off with a strip of Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon and a glimmer brad.  The sentiment on the inside is from a retired Stampin Up! set called Enjoy Every Moment.  I hope you will Enjoy Every Moment - bye for now.
