Viewing: Lemon Lime Twist

Tutti-frutti Topiary Tree
The stamp set Vertical Greetings usually catches someone’s eye because the vertical greetings designs are an interesting alternative to regular greetings. That’s one reason I bought it! But I also think the topiary tree designs are fun.
Here is a fun and bright example. The Tutti-futti Sequins (from the 2018 Occasions Catalog) were out on my stamp desk and they inspired the color selection. I used these three markers for the tree: lemon lime twist, pumpkin pie and melon mambo. The vase is bermuda bay.

May your glass always be half full
Well. A short break for a few weeks turned into a long break of a few months away. Where does the time go? I just started introducing new Annual Catalog stamps! Now I’m back today with a card using one of my favorite sets from the new Holiday Catalog, Half Full.
Yes, I like wine, so the images appealed to me. But I also like the fact that this set can be used throughout the year. This card is an example.

Organizing your Love Today Planner Kit
Have you seen the Love Today Planner Kit in the new catalog? It’s in the kits section, and since offering a planner is new you may have missed it. You can find it on pages 12 and 13. I recently got mine and got it organized. I like it! Over the years I have used a variety of planners, mainly for work. At home I generally rely on a calendar and a notebook for my to-do lists. I’ve tried digital lists, too, but I just like paper. I love that this planner has all the basics in place, but still offers so many creative and organizational possibilities.
Here are the parts and ideas for how you might want to organize and use your planner.
This is everything that comes in the planner kit: the Night of Navy gold foil binder, 12 monthly divider pages, calendar pages, page lifter, sticker sheets, sticky notes, photo protector pages, and two pockets. The binder size is 7-3/4″ x 8-3/4″. It all comes packed up in a nice little box. I suggest you pull everything out and organize the various pages, before you pull some of this and some of that to take blog photos!

How do you like the new 2017 In Colors?
How do you like the new 2017 In Colors? I think they’re wonderful! Here are the colors if you haven’t seen them.
These 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbons are so nice to work with, and aren’t the In Color Bitty Bows cute? The colors are (from the top): Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Fig and Tranquil Tide. They work really well together, and while I haven’t played too much, they seem to work well with other colors, too.
So far, Lemon Lime Twist is my favorite. (I love it with Bermuda Bay.) But Berry Burst is a quick second. I’m not a pink girl, but I think it has a more purple cast to it. And it’s great with Lemon Lime Twist.
Here’s a card I made with the new stamp set, Crafting Forever, and all five of the new 2017 In Colors. The designer series paper is called Fresh Florals. If it looks familiar, it’s four designs from last year’s Floral Boutique paper (the navy and white DSP). It gives you a nice variety of floral and patterns in all the new colors.
