Key West Layouts (post 8)

Paradise:

 

In between the drinking, laughing, and troublemaking, we did appreciate our surroundings. This layout says it all: Paradise. 

 

The idea for the heading came from a layout I saw on Pinterest by Monique Liedtke.  Her blog can be found HERE.  I love the contrast of the black and white and separating the word on more than one line.

 

Not a great picture of this layout, but the partial circle of bling around the top left really helps set the feel.  These are easy to line up straight with a precut circle. I explained how to do this in a previous layout. To see how, refer to (Nick's Smiling Face layout).

 

Put the Lime in the Coconut

Trying to use up some of my retired CTMH CS.  The blue is Ocean, the green is Citrus Leaf, and the pink is Bubblegum.  The tan is Desert Sand (still available).  The pink stamping on the right card is from the CTMH stamp set called Paradise, and the other blender image and words are from Unity Stamp Co.

Employee Spirit Month

March is National Employee Spirit Month!!!  Working in a government office fraught with budget cuts, layoffs, and some generally odd people, I'm interpreting "spirit" to mean alcohol.  So in honor of Employee [Alcohol] Month, I made an It's 5'clock Somewhere card:

Colors are Citrus Leaf and Buttercup.  Stamp sets used are Flower Pot ("It's"), Paradise (row of drinks), Extreme Happiness (row of hibiscus), Hang Ten (palm trees), Star Power (ink splotches), Around the Block ("where"), Life is a Party (drink clock hands), Bunny Love ("Some"), Comments (paper grid), Make it Count (clock), Notice the Details (binder clip, paper edging & "important to remember") and Sm. Friendship Alpha. ("5").
