My Lemonade Stand

I found this awesome paper at work by Little Yellow Bicycle, which reminded of my lemonade stand when I was just a little thing.  A couple of guys from Cilco that used to eat lunch at my Nana’s cafĂ©, built it for me and I just loved it and actually made some money that I spent at Velma’s Variety Store.  She had a table full of penny candy!!!  So I had to create a card...
Carla's Scraps, Little Yellow Bicycle, Lemonade Stand, Memory Box Dies
I cut out 2 lemonade stands from the paper and pop dotted them together and then popped them on the card too.  I created the flowers from various punches and the Sweet Summertime Memories is a little kit that goes with the paper, which had ugly little blue flowers that I covered with my white ones.
I created the my little flags by folding some Whisper White in half and using the tail end of my star punch.  The 5 cent sign is the SU itty bitty punches.  The ‘rope’ is SU’s White Bakers Twine.
My lemonade glasses are from Debbie’s tutorial at Debbie’s Designs.  I used her tutorial, but cut my vellum at 1/2” square.  Tiny!!!  Thank you Deb!!!  Plus I spent 5.99 for the chunky glitter just for my little lemonade glasses.  Isn’t that silly!!!
I had such a blast making my easel card.  Those memories were the best, when we were young and had no worries!  I hope you enjoy it too.

Carla this card is beautiful and FUN. I Love the colors, and of course your flowers are better (even though I never saw the others) but YOU ARE the queen of flowers in my book!

Carla, this is just darling! I also remember my lemonade stands...but they didn't look as nice as this one! LOL. Mine was a cardboard box, turned upside down with a metal milk crate to keep it steady. :-) I love your talents .... so cute! TFS!
