I had the lighthouse already stamped & embossed, just waiting to be colored. I tried to make it into an anniversary card, but none of my anniversary sentiments would fit around the lighthouse.

Pool Party, Real Red, inks – Copic B00, C5, R29, Y06, VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Avery Elle (lighthouse), Lawn Fawn (stitched hillside), embossing powders – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear, Stampendous Detail clear.
WOOT! I made this in under an hour yesterday morning! Not saying the mojo stuck around after I got it put together, but I feel better.
So, context. Random, right? Nope. Offspring3 is back in Germany, although not in Bavaria for this trip. She has sent me photos of brezen (pretzels – YUM!), that is where the pretzels came in. The blue diamonds are on the Bavarian flag, so that seemed like the perfect backdrop.
Looking for a Bavarian flag image to post, I stumbled upon Sheldon & Amy demonstrating what I needed!
As you can see, I paper pieced another coffee cup for today’s note card. Actually, I paper pieced a bunch of them last weekend, just working my way through them!
This sentiment is from a Right at Home set of sentiments called How Have You Bean?.

OOPS! Another bouquet card! I found a set of Gansai Tambi Pearl Colors (watercolors – the colors are all shimmery) on sale, and this bouquet was already stamped & embossed, waiting in my scrap folder to be the “test piece”.
I die cut the bouquet after it was dry, and popped it up on foam. You can see the pink background along the cut line.
