citrus got real | Essentials by Ellen

on




If you follow me on IG, you may have seen my latest additions from Ellen Hutson - Essentials by Ellen.  I always LOVE Julie Ebersole's releases, this one is no exception with citrus, coffee + hair buns.


Today I'm featuring the Squeeze The Day set.  I was first introduced to Pink Lemons via Blue Apron (Big Fan of their WW meals).  Julie is so clever with her sentiments...


I stamped the images with Versafine  Onyx Black on Watercolor paper.  I dug out my Zigs!  I haven't used those in awhile.  We've been using them on MnT's for crafty day (thanks Toni!)...I kind of forgot how much I love them.  I generally color zig on zig.



I made this especially for a friend of mine, let's see, I've known her for a very long time.  I worked with her via my first 'real' job so it's been a couple of years.  She has 2 kids, her oldest is going to college this Fall, out of state.  As a Momma that has gone through that twice, it's tough.  My oldest went to the University of Washington, lived in the dorms in Year One and I was a mess.  She was only 40 minutes away from home but the transition was tough.  My youngest (who just graduated from college last month) went out of state to NY.  I guess I should be glad that I had a bit of experience before that happened.  Honestly, still trying to get use to him not coming back home.

So although I haven't made her boy's graduation card yet, I knew just what I wanted to design for her.  This card will include an invite to Bubble Tea because, well, that makes everything better.
