It's Time To Camp

{ Click here for Tuesday Alchemy's Tips & Tutorials Blog Hop }

If you live in the USA, Father's Day is June 17th.

That's this Sunday if you don't keep track of the days :)

Have you made a card for your dad?

When I think about my Dad, I always think about camping. As a family, we took plenty of camping trips & still do. It's such a delight to relax next to a campfire chatting with my dad.

River

The background for this card is another photo that I took while in the Caribbean. It was my first time actually leaving the USA & it was amazing. I can't wait to go again. Of course, it will be a while before that happens, but I still dream about those tropical days :)

Explore Nature

Instead of using patterned paper, I used a photo from my trip to the Caribbean. If I remember correctly, this is a beautiful stream in Dominica that we passed on our way to a striking waterfall & swimming hole.

I love this card & I'm going to pull more photos from my trips to use as backgrounds. They add so much to it with variations in color, natural beauty & just interest.

Bunny Bath Time

A golden bunny takes a little "me" time in a bubble-filled bath with a cup of tea. Aaww . . can't you just feel the happiness & relaxation?

For the flower, I added glitter glue to the center before attaching beaded trim underneath it.

Put A Bird On It

If you've seen the TV show, Portlandia, you will probably get my title if you happened to watch a particular episode. If you haven't, well, then you are missing out on a funny skit & maybe you should check it out.

This little bird is wet embossed, which gives it pretty texture. The scallop circle beneath has a fantastic pattern of birds that look just like it.

Spring Carnival

For this card, I picked a mixed up lot of embellishments. It's more collage than anything else, but the theme is definitely full of fun, play & Spring.
