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.

Aloha! from The Hippo Twins

This creation was inspired by my love of Kauai. I was lucky enough to vacation there a few years back. It would be the first time that I actually wore a bikini. Hee hee . . . I'm just not a bikini kind of girl. I looked fine, but I just like a little more "coverage."

Spring At The Beach

This card was created using Spring colors, but I also tossed in a little beach with the turquoise. (Thanks to Paper Minutes great color scheme!)

For the middle flower, I painted a chipboard shape in brown, added the polka dot detail then covered in clear glaze. I had made this piece previously, so I added more polka dots with turquoise paint to bring more of that beachy color to this piece.

Chocolate Dipped Apple

Mmm . . . mmm . . . yummy! There is nothing like a crisp apple covered in rich chocolate & coated with sprinkles (or nuts.) They are so good AND healthy, too. Ok, so the apple is healthy, but you can't always win.
