At our house, we are master of the economical vacation! We do go on a big vacation every few years but camping or staycations are what we do the most of the time. I am afraid I have never been very clever about our staycations. I simply want to go to a movie, take a day trip to our favorite gardens and eat out several times but when I heard the summer VSN theme was going to be "Staycation", I googled it! There are a lot of fabulous ideas on how to make staying home a fun adventure!
One of the ideas that several blogs had in common was to place glass pitchers in strategic spots in your house filled with ice water and lemons slices like they have in fancy hotels. Keep some cups near the pitchers and when you walk by pour yourself a drink! Another idea to freshen up the house is to toss a few lemon slices in a pan of water and simmer for a couple of hours.
Challenge:
My challenge to you is to create a card with yellow as the main attraction, black and white are permitted but no other colors. This is not a lemon challenge even though I was inspired by lemon water but you most certainly can feature lemons if you would like! I can't wait to see a gallery full of cheerful yellow!

Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos. 5.

It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen. THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING ALONG!!! __________________
I was so happy to use up these die cuts and had 2 one was blue so I kind of hid that 2nd card behind the one for your challenge. Thanks for the push so I could use up this die cut just sitting on my desk.
Here is a link to mine, but I am not going to edit it with a cross link since that seems to be one of the ways the gallery eats what I have typed Sorry about that.
I'm doing the challenges totally out of order, but I'm sure that NOBODY cares about that! I already made a yellow card for VSN, but the card I wanted to make for Monday's CAS challenge fits the bill perfectly, so I made a two-fer: Hello Summer by gregzgurl - at Splitcoaststampers
