I wish this was my summer selfie! (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I'd love to look like this in a bikini hehe, those days are gone sob sob. I used my new Lawn Fawn frame die and I used some foam tape to give it height. I have had this floral paper for the longest time, I have way too many patterned papers that are beautiful and all sitting in pizza boxes hidden under more papers. I keep telling myself not to buy more but occasionally I just can't help myself if I see really loves new ones hehe. So I'm really pleased I have gotten around to using these ones anyway as they are a lovely colour combo. The image is another gorgeous one from Saturated Canary.

To the hottest Grandma card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My darling friend is going to be a Grandma, I can't believe it!! We met in high school and have been buddies ever since and now she tells me her baby is having a baby! (He's a 26yo man mind you so well entitled to have one haha). She seems so young but I guess we are 45, I don't know where the time goes. 

So anyway the reason for my weird card is that she doesn't know what she wants the baby to call her so I used Google Translate to see what I could find in different languages and hence all her choices on the front of the card hehe. She loved it! I used Echo Park papers and Saturated Canary image.
