F4A53 - Aloha Friday! - 02/25/11

F4A53 � Aloha Friday! � 02/15/11

Got a little inspiration from my dear friend Deb Felts (debdeb) on this one. Y�know how here on the �mainland� we have �Dress Down� or �Blue Jeans� Fridays? Those days at work when they let you dress �down�? Well, in Hawaii (where she lived for several years) they have what they call �Aloha Fridays� � where they can wear muu muu�s or whatever other casual wear they want. Which got me to thinking � how can I incorporate that into a challenge? Well, here ya go! Do a card inspired by the islands!! Anything tropical, Polynesian, Asian � in a tribute to all of our island friends!

Here are my samples:

Asian Dream

I like Fridays (my day off) because I can usually get a card done first thing, but I went out to breakfast with my neighbor this morning. But I did eventually get to do a tropical card for today's challenge.

I cheated and created this earlier, but hadn't uploaded it here at Splitcoast.

The card meets the two February challenges over at Bombshell Stamps, the sketch and the color challenge.

Here it is:
Hawaiian Girl

I have a few ideas for some other cards, so I'll be adding those later!

Yikes, I'm brand new and can't figure out how to add my card for this challenge. What do you mean by the card address?

[CleverCouponChick]

First time doing a challenge...

[CleverCouponChick]

OKay, how do you make the link say something else, like a card title instead of the long address?
