Let's hit the beach!

Hi friends!

Today is a fun day ~

It's a beach day!

This card is for Week 5 of the Summer Inspired card hop

organized by The Kellys!  

(That would be my sweet friend Kelly on Instagram and moi!)

How it works: 

Each week, we have a summer theme where you chose

1 or the other OR combine both if you'd like.

For Week 5, Kelly (the other one!) has chosen BBQs or favorite activity.

 

One of my favorite things is a trip to the beach!

I could be there all day every day if i could! :)

There's something so incredibly relaxing about a lounge chair 

under the shade of an umbrella watching the waves.

Add in a good book and it's absolute bliss!

This random photo I took outside while photographing cards

shows our gorgeous Florida weather!

The sky's are crystal blue and everything here is so green.

HOT HOT HOT but that's typical here :)

Wishing you a day filled with all of your favorites!

Lots of love,

Kelly

WELCOME to the funny farm!

Ooops!

 I mean greetings from the funny farm!

Today is the day that the Challenge Your Stash (CYS) card group

creates a card with a chosen theme.

This month, our hostess is Vickie and she chose "Down on the Farm!"

Isn't that a-moo-sing?! :)

I have quite a few farm stamps and it's always fun to ink up the stamps

 that haven't gotten to play!

Here is my take on the farm ~
a barnyard full of happy, smiling farm friends!

I created this card with Sunny Studio Stamps "Barnyard Buddies", 

stamped in Momento Tuxedo and colored with a combination of 

prismacolor markers and promarkers.

In order to create the little farm scene,

I used the Sunny Studio Stamps gingham jewel tones patterned paper 

and layered the barn and fence in the background.

The animals in the front are popped up on 3d foam.

 The inside of my card is pretty simple ...

The possibilities of using this stamp set in a card are endless!

  I already see a 3 cards-1 stamp project :)

 And I can't wait to see what the rest of the CYS did with their farms ...

Yeeeeehaw!

 Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
