Life's a Trip

The title for this post comes from Linda's card and our inspiration for the Papertrey Peeps Challenge #9! The theme is all about travel or vacation. Papertrey has come out with the most fabulous hot air balloon stamps, bicycles, surf boards, a VW bug ... we have options!!!

Well. We sort of have options. I haven't finished purchasing everything on PTI's inventory yet (give me time...give me time.. :0) and so have to make do with what I have on hand.

As you know from the last post I'm making some baby cards as a donation at the moment. So travel and baby cards were the order of the day - here goes :0)

If you take a peek at the sea you'll see it's layered and stitched. I saw that on a card by Debbie Olsen, where she's used the technique for grass and thought it was one of the coolest things ever!

Yes there is a little touch of bling on a BOY card, but I figured the little guy would be so new he probably wouldn't notice and the mum will be so happy she probably won't either ;0) ...

Sharon, thank you so much for a great challenge!

Thanks for stopping in and visiting with me! Blessings for a WONDERFUL day!

Also, this card fits the challenge at Flourishes for this week! So I have entered it there. Thanks to all of my fellow Peeps who have been playing in the Flourishes Challenges! I finally decided to go and see what was there and discovered some VERY PRETTY and VERY INSPIRING things! WOW :0)! ...so if I blow the budget can I say it was all YOUR fault???!! :0)
