Hello all and welcome to Michelle's Crafty Creations!
Welcome to Cooking with Cricut's and PapercraftingWorld.com's June blog hop. Our designers have been working hard to bring you two days of some really great projects. You should have arrived from the super sweet and talented Madison at Funky Cards. If you just happened upon my blog, please head back to the beginning with Melin at Cooking With Cricut. You DEFINITELY don't want to miss out on any blogs along the way!! :)
Not only is this a birthday themed hop, but it is also in honor of our DT coordinator, Jen Hudson, who just happens to have her birthday during our hop! ;) Because Jen is a gator fan through and through, we decided to have our projects reflect anything Florida. Gators, Beach, anything that reminds you of the "Sunshine State"! <---How fun right?!
Jen is the last one on our blog line up so be sure to stop at her blog and leave some extra love!!
Okay, when I think of Florida I think of SUNSHINE and BEACHES!! Oh yeah! Who doesn't love sunshine especially at the beach?! My card truly reflects what I think of when I envision myself on the beach. (wow! how many times can one person say beach!! LOL)
A beach shape card!! I LOVE the flip-flops!
(sorry all my local peeps...slippers!!)
I JUST love my sunshine and the face. My sun will always be smiling!!
To make this card:
I used my Gypsy to size all the pieces and weld the sun and waves to the card.
Cricut cartridges: Everyday Paper Dolls for the waves, beach chair and umbrella; Create A Critter for the sun; Accent Essentials for the base.
Paper: DCWV (The sand was paper that was torn and inked)
Misc: Jollee Sticker for the beach ball and flip-flops (slippers); PKS Everyday Character Faces; White gelly roll pen for eyes and face detail; Inkadinkadoo Chalk for the cheeks; Ranger Distress Ink tea dye for the edges.
Now what is a hop without some blog candy?

Oh this is just too fun. It is the perfect beach card. The flip flops (we called them zorries when I was a kid) are adorable. Great job my friend.
