Summer Birthday F4A22

Today’s SCS challenge was Cool Summers and Hot Winters!  LOL!  We were to make a summer card with cool colors or a winter card with warm colors.  My BIL’s birthday is next week, and he lives on the beautiful Isle of Palms in SC; my sister and I both love vintage stuff, so even though he may not appreciate the images on this CAS card, I know my sis will!  I chose some purple, blue and green scraps of BG paper along with an image of three handsome men in their sexy bathing attire from Graphic 45’s On the Boardwalk:

When I trimmed the scrap of green herringbone, I had a little square frame left from a previous punchout, so I used that to frame my birthday greeting, which is from a new SU set called Perfect Punches.  I already had a Crumb Cake card laying on my desk, so I used that for my base.  I did a computer-generated sentiment for the inside:

Those vintage images are awesome LeAnne (although that lady looks like she wants to hit someone over the head with her oar lol)! Thanks for stopping by my blog today, it's always nice to meet a fellow Pennsylvanian :)

Fun! Must keep this in mind when I am stumped for a masculine card! You are so clever! I have yet to use ANY of the images I have save on my computer. I know this must shock you! Always soooo many things to try! And I have too many hobbies!
