Beach and/or summertime card for Michelles!

Good Morning guys! TGISunday I have to say! Last week really wore me out between being sick for almost two weeks then Friday my car died while I was out seeing patients and I sat in 100 degree heat (literally!) for over 2 hours waiting for AAA to come and jump my car. I went to bed Friday night at 6pm and got up Saturday morning at 8am. I guess my body said enough already and just figured I had dealt with enough and was gonna get a break one way or the other!

Enough babble, my card this week is a mo manning image available at Michelles Scrapbooking called Lil umbrella.

The paper is by American Crafts and is called Margarita, pretty appropriate huh? A flower from Recollections at Michaels and some sand ultra fine Flower Soft. Not too sure I like the sand though, put it on, thought it looked better without it but after I got it off there was still glue all over so put it back on. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!  Alright, let's see your beach/summertime themed cards for a chance to win a gift certificate at Michelle's. And if you live in Northeast Ohio or Northwest Pa she is gonna have a booth at the flea market in Hartville starting next month and you can bet I will be there! I am entering this card into this weeks Mo manning which is Summer Vacation.

Oh Amanda I am so sorry that your car died and left in the heat for so long. You are so calm about it. I just hate when cars don't do what they are suppose to do. Gggrrr! :O{ I am glad to hear that your body took care of you and made you rest for a little while. Sounds like you really needed it my friend. I love, love your card! I love the colors of the paper and the way that you have colored this awesome image. Soooo cute! I don't know what she looked like without the sand, but I think this has turned out awesome. Never have used that stuff before, but looks like it is very cool to work with. Take card of yourself and I hope your car is back up and running too. Hugs, Lisa

Fabulous Amanda! It looks just like me on the beach, sipping a cocktail with my big, fat butt stuck up in the air!
Great choice of papers and a fab flower.
The flower soft, it looks fine on your card and does look like sand.
