I had promised my sister not to show any pictures of her and me pool side. But I just couldnÂ’t resist this one. You see, while she was here a flamingo appeared in my backyard and my DH took a picture of the three of us.
Little did I know the flamingo was the long lost Ramon. So that is why I just had to share this photo so you could see that Ramon is fine. Oh yeah, in case you are wondering who is who, my sister is the one with the purse. She wouldnÂ’t put that thing down for anything. Hehe Â…Â…..confused? Go here for the 411.
My cardÂ…Â….been wanting to do this kind of card for a long time. I took the picture of the backyard and printed it out. Stamped the two sexy ladies and flamingo, which are from Rubbernecker Stamps . Colored them with copics and then cut out. Put them pool side popping up parts.
Layered this with colored cs then put on a white card. Added the photo corners, after all it is a photo. Then put on the buttons.
Well, hope you get a kick out of this as I have, having it in my head for so long. Hehe TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Looking good!

Ohhh my gosh I love your card. I am SO going to have to try this.
Now ... about your photo. .... it is YOU with the cleavage? You trying to catch bugs or what? And why are you testing the water temp with your toe still in your Prada shoes?
Oh my gosh I envy your arms. Mine have 6 inches of skin hanging down, look at those straight lines....
Gorgeous card, clever idea, beautiful photo of you and sis and nicely stamped palm trees and 'brella. Oops, I mean the other way around.

I knew right away which one was you and which one was your purse-hugging sweetheart sister. You gals look simply smashing. Bet you stole the show at the wedding - other than the bride, of course! Even Ramon the Flamingo can't stop staring. Wait 'til he sees you in your bathing suits! What a fantastic card - I love your creative mind. I see I have several creations to go back and enjoy! What fun!

I cannot remember the last time we looked this good!! Wow!!! I am feeling very good after this card!!! I LOVE my outfit!!! Makes me look so thin. I am glad the one with the arms up in the air is not me. You would have to erase some skin.....if you get my drift. I saw my arms for the first time in a very long time the other day (winter has been cold and I usually have long sleeves on) while I was brushing my hair and I have some loose skin blowing in the wind......how does that happen!!! Better question.....how do I get rid of this problem. The inside of my arm seems to have disappeared. Those older than me, please let me know what I will be expecting next!!! This phase was a shock!!!
Cathy, love the picture of your yard and I love this card. Need a copy. tfs, sis.
hugs,
I really love Tuesdays. Especially the ones where I look GOOD!!! lol.

Can I get your DH to come take my picture? Pretty Please? You gals look so good - that sort of sophisticated bored-with-the-world look. I know it was not a Tuesday because Tuesday is not boring. at least, not in this gallery.
What a great idea I am glad Ramon is safe and happy.
Great coloring and cutting here - all those spindly legs and arms are not easy to do!

Well, let's just say that you gals must be having greens from the background trees for lunch. You are looking like DA BOMBS. I want to fly to California now! I knew you would want to show off, that's what sistah's do on a pool side in California right. Look at that Ramon. His eyes are almost popping out of his pea head!!! I felt for Ramon when I read his story, and he fed me is long and sad story on the Flamingo phone all day today, but now, I see this Flamingo for what he is...a fullblown Flamingo-izer!!! Beware gals, he is out to get you!
Cool card, don't mind me, I've lost it completely tonight, Pierre has left me on my own (only for a little while now) and I am feeling goooooood.
P.S. If you see that Ramon guy again, just slap him and tell him it's from me.LOL
