AYSI354 Basket of Wishes

Happy Friday, everyone! Time for a new As You See It challenge and what a fun one it is:

I don't think we've ever done a picnic challenge, but I JUST got the perfect papers for it, and I pulled out a perfect stamp as well!  Here we go:
 

Papertrey had a fun set full of picnic baskets and coordinating sayings, so I pulled one out, inked it up with some Versafine ink and watercolored in my design.  I then diecut it with an Everyday Arches die and added a banner sentiment and a baker's twine bow:


I just receivevd some of these fun plaid papers from Scrapbook.com, so I put that layer on a Basic Beige card base and it's ready for my birthday stash!  

I hope you'll play along with our picnic challenge this week too! Truthfully, there are lots of things you could stamp that are picnic related! Put on your thinking cap and come play along! You can see all the DT creations at the AYSI blog!

A few more birthday cards; this boatful of critters, which made both John and me laugh out loud, is from Sally:


No one beats Michele for florals....this is a stunner for sure:


And this one from my upline, Pennie, combines so many fun little elements into her CAS card:


Thanks, ladies, I love them all! Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

That picnic basket of flowers is so sweet LeAnne and that fabulous red gingham surround just screams picnic - so pretty!

I do love a Summer picnic - Fall is even better especially one had at the apple orchard where we pick! This is just so beautiful, LeAnne! and the basket is a smaller version of one my Mom packed so often - okay, maybe without the flowers! lol
