Happy Saturday, peeps! Do you have some cool activities planned today? I will be INSIDE enjoying some a/c today, LOL! I have a card today featuring Swirly Bird, and I have used the Match the Sketch sketch and the colors from Create with Connie and Mary:
And here we go:
I created my vertical panel with a piece of By the Shore DSP, a diecut from Swirly Scribbles and the diagonal image from Gorgeous Grunge. I wish now I had added another little piece of diecut on the right side...oh well! My little boat is from Swirly Bird, mounted on a piece of Very Vanilla and a scalloped square of Mint Macaron, diecut with Layering Squares....I just haven't had a chance to use those dies enough, so I hope it's okay I substituted a square for a circle!
I added a wee little flag (Swirly Bird) and star (Labeler Alphabet) to my boat, then stamped a sentiment from a past Paper Pumpkin set along with another smaller star (Itty Bitties). The finishing touch was a length of thick baker's twine, knotted and frayed! These are great colors together!
Cassidy made a swimming pool for Michael from a big bowl....although I am not sure why she just didn't use the kiddie pool...all the other dolls end up there! And the bandaid is from the first bike accident...just a little scrape but you might have thought her leg had been cut off. All is well now, though!
Enjoy your day, and be sure to stop back tomorrow for a new Paper Player's challenge!
Staying cool is a good idea, LeAnne ... so was using this darling square! What COOL card! Poor Cassidy- I'm still sporting scars on my knees, and elbows from a bike accident when about her age. xx and oo's of the healing variety!

I love this, LeAnne! So many cute nautical touches including the twine!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute! Love that little boat and you've done a stunning take with the colors here LeAnne!! I'm with you on enjoying the air conditioning today!! LOL!! Hope the heat advisory lifts for us this evening! Stay cool! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper adorable card, LeAnne! Love the little sailboat and the nautical theme you have going on with this card! I have yet to use my Swirly Bird thinlits, sad I know! The first thing I saw on the picture of Cassidy was the bandaid on her knee. She is not the only one with a boo boo from a bike ride. My petal clipped my ankle the other evening when we were riding and i'm sporting a bandaid too! Always something! Stay cool and have a nice Saturday! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute sail boat card LeAnne! I love the detail on the right hand side and mounting your boat on the layered square is genius - great use of this week's CCMC colours! Poor Cassidy - 'war wounds' from bicycle accidents are something of a right of passage aren't they - good to see she's still smiling though!
ReplyDeleteVielen Dank fürs Mitmachen und viel Glück bei Match the Sketch. lg Fanny
ReplyDeleteI love how those waves look over the top of the DSP! Such a great nautical card! Love all the details! Thanks for playing the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteI love how you combined all the different elements. Love that diagonal stripe and how that design is also repeated on the sail of the sailboat. Very fun card! Thank you for stamping along with the Create with Connie and Mary challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove that vertical element! It's so nautical, and this is such a perfect card for our colors this week! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!
ReplyDeleteSquare for a circle is completely okay. Always feel free to adapt to the shapes you have or want to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing with us at Match the Sketch!
Fabulous card LeAnne. I love how you've combined the challenges and how you've gone for a vertical layout rather than a horizontal one! Thanks for joining us at Create with Connie & Mary this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to use this set, LeAnne! I love the little flag flying from inside the boat. Thanks for playing along with us at Create with Connie and Mary!
