Jungle Cruise

This is a layout from our family trip last year to the Disney World. I decided to scrap a layout for the Jungle Cruise...it's so "campy" and fun. I think this one turned out quite well. The paper did most of the work. Thanks for looking...Lee-Ann :)

Wild Card#14

Lucky number 14 is done. This card is called triangle, which I know is obvious, but I had to go downstairs to check before posting this. Remember, they had a card called leaf, it was not shaped like a leaf...Anyways down to business...
Card recipe:2 colours of teal Bazzill Bling cardstock, Bubble paper from Imaginese's "It's a Shore Thing" line,various scraps of glitter paper and cardstock for the fish and coral, diamond and black Stickles, Diamond glaze to make more bubbles, Kraftin Kimmies sentiment and Twilight ink from CTMH. I used Martha Stewart border punch called double loop on the inside. The fish,coral and seaweed cuts came from Lifes a Beach cartridge. I think this card is going to one of Tanis' daughters. What little girl doesn't like a little glitter?

I made this card for The Pink Stamper challenge.The only rules were to use orange, pink, green and brown. Recipe:My Minds Eye(twinkle twinkle little girl) paper and Mud pie Bazzill. Close To My Heart Hollyhock pink rick rack, Thank You stamp and Cocoa ink. Martha Stewart shell border punch. I used cricut cartridges :Life's a Beach for the sandals, Mini Monograms for the scalloped square and George for the oval. I finnished it off with orange Bella bling and little white flowers from Doodlebug Tidbits.
