Tropical Fun!

Hello friends~  Today's card is full of tropical fun!

 

  

I have a dear friend who loves pink flamingos and she just celebrated her birthday at the beginning of this month.  

 

Every year I make her a pink flamingo card.  Sometimes it's a challenge to come up with fresh new designs for her, but this card ended up turning out super cute. 

 

I used Marianne Designs Pink Flamingo Floatie paired with this leafy Sylvan Frame by Poppystamps.  I made it into an easel card for something slightly different.  I'm so glad to say she loved it.

I'll be entering this card into the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Four Seasons ~ Summer Challenge

 

AAA Cards ~ Summer Activity

 

 

Hope you're enjoying some beautiful weather in your neighborhood.  It's been gorgeous here on the east coast.  Summer if fleeting by way too quickly.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Bird House ~ CCS

Hello friends!  I'm hoping by the time this project posts, we'll be well into spring here on the east coast.  As I sit here typing up this post, we are being hit by another early spring snow storm, that's supposed to last both Saturday and Sunday. 

 

To help combat the winter blues and early spring snow storms, I made this darling Spring Bird House using pretty pastel colored Lessebo cardstock from CutCardstock.

 

 

I used Poppystamps Pop-Up Easel Bird House die, but turned it into a 3D piece of spring decor.   A group of us will be making 20 of these for a ladies breakfast at our church coming up in May.

 

 

 

You can find all the details on how this bird house came together over at the CutCardstock blog.

Good Day Sunshine! ~ Poppystamps

Hello friends!  I sure do love the summer months, but even on the rainy days the sun is always shining in my craft room.  

Poppystamps is starting a new challenge this month titled "Good Day Sunshine".  ~~𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮Good day sunshine, good day sunshine, good day sunshine𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮~~ Is that song stuck in your head now, like it is in mine?  The Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit came out to play for this challenge.

This tall giraffe from Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit is driving his convertible, probably to the beach where he'll catch some sun rays and talk a long walk on the shore. (Get it??)  Sorry, bad joke.  Anyway, the sunshine and sentiment are from the Whittle Tropical Gator Kit.

A piece of Glimmering Gladiola 6x6 paper pack was used for the background, while I used a Double Scalloped Stitched Frame to bring attention to this little speed demon.

Zoom on over to the Poppystamps Challenge to play along with this fun, summer challenge!

Enjoy the sunshine!  Thanks for stopping by!
