Morning Peeps, myself and the 'girls' have some more inspiration for you over at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge where Lynn selected the theme of 'Drink's and there is the option of Anything Goes as usual.
I've used the lemonade stamp again but this time on a tag, cut out the corner with a really old TH die, placed a piece of MCS DP underneath and stencilled some citrus pieces onto the inked background. I then did the stamping, a bit of colouring, stamped several of the elements again to decoupage. As there are several snippets I'm heading over the the Playground, here's a photo of those snippets. Also linking up at Card Free Zone and Heart's Quest shaped cards and tags.
I may be going a step too far with my tag as a garden challenge entry, but I made lemonade, it's now nicely chilled so going into the garden to drink, which made me think of Ellies Garden Party.
Below my ATC, very simple using a Gecko Galz image that was part of a bundle I was lucky enough to win a few weeks ago. I added some lace and the word 'tea' using die cut letters inked to match the outfit.
If you've not already joined us this month, then what are you waiting for as we have a lovely tag die set from AALL and Create to win. Also linking up to ATC's around the World.
It's an excellent year for Roses, apparently down to the exceptionally dry Spring, here are a few from the garden, long forgotten the names of most apart from the first which is Albertine, it has a gorgeous scent and came from a cutting from my Dad's garden, so has a special meaning.
It was only uploading the photos that I realise how many different varieties we have and I missed a few when I was out taking the photos.

Fabulous rose pictures - I bet your garden is very fragrant.
I adore the citrus colours of your lemonade tag and all the decoupage with the snippets. Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground.
Your ATC is very feminine and uses a great GG image. Xxx
A really zingy lemonade tag and such an elegant lady on the ATC. Thanks for sharing the pictures of some of your beautiful roses.
I love this zingy tag Brenda, really makes me want a long cool drink.
Your roses are simply beautiful, I love them and its always nice to have something with extra meaning. xx
Great zingy tag. Love the ATC - I nearly used the very same image!
A gorgeous image for your ATC Brenda and a lovely zesty tag. Your roses are beautiful. We only have one in the garden but it certainly does have more flowers this year.
Your zesty lemonade tag perfect for summery weather and the elegant lady on the ATC is beautiful
Just popped back to say your roses are beautiful
Your lemonade tag is a burst of summertime joy—such a clever use of stenciling to bring out the citrus theme. The layering and decoupage add wonderful dimension, making it feel as refreshing as a tall, cool drink on a warm day. The ATC is equally lovely, with its elegant vintage charm. And those roses—what a stunning collection! Albertine must be especially meaningful, carrying a connection to your father's garden. It's beautiful to see creativity and nature intertwining so seamlessly.
Love all the beautiful roses. Love the zesty lemonade tag and the ATC with the beautiful Vintage image-congrats on your win.

Your lemonade tag is absolutely fabulous, Brenda! Love everything about it! Beautiful ATC and love seeing your roses! I have some pretty ones and think the spray I used has gotten rid of the aphids. Need to bring in a few to enjoy inside.
Love the Lemonade tag - I never think to use my TH corner dies - thanks for the prompt - and the tea ATC is so pretty. Gorgeous rose pictures and it's so nice when they have a beautiful smell.

Such a beautiful tag in that gorgeous lime color. The stenciling looks amazing and lemonade (limeaid) looks delicious. A perfect treat to enjoy in the garden on these hot summer days! Your roses are all so goregous too, I am especially drawn to the yellow roses, I think I must plant a yellow rose bush in my garden once my shoulder injury heals. So great to see you at my Garden Party this month!
Fabulous card and such lovely and zesty colours. Your roses are beautiful too
