Pucker up buttercup, we're celebrating lemons at Inspired By!
When I was a teenager, I was head majorette in a baton and drum corp. Many of the parades we marched in were part of a festival. One of my favorite treats was the fresh squeezed lemonade. Have you ever had it from one of those festival stands? They add the lemons, sugar and water to a big cup with lots of ice, top it with another cup and shake it up! It was always the perfect mix of lemon and sweetness. That's what inspired my lemon filled shaker card! All of my dies and shaker fillings are from Pretty Pink Posh, the sentiment too.
Okay, now it's your turn. Will you be inspired by our inspiration photo, the sketch... maybe both?
Edit: I had no way to contact Erika concerning her question about the lemons I used. The lemons and gingham are patterned paper. American crafts... I think!

What a fun story behind your card Lisa!
Such a pretty shaker!
Can't say I ever had lemonade made that way, but it's just what we need with our week of 90 degree temps out here! Talk about the perfect paper for the challenge & a totally refreshing shaker! Love this, Lisa!
Beautiful card!! I love the blue and yellow together. Are the lemons a stamp from PPP? Gotta have it!

Lisa, this card is simply gorgeous!
Your card totally reminds me of any icy cold, sweet/tangy lemonade!! It's wonderful!
Oh, I absolutely adore this! And I can't say that I've had lemonade made quite that way, and I'm feeling like I have very much missed out. Sounds divine.
You're making my mouth water, Lisa. I love those lemonades. And your lemon shaker card.
Delightful! Definitely brings on the taste of iced lemonade!
