Today's Tea Party is for Marla in Virginia. Marla is recovering from surgery complications and could use some Teapotter cheer. Pat is our hostess and has challenged us to make beachy cards, because Marla loves the beach. Marla also has a great sense of humor, so I decided to go with a favorite Bugaboo digi of mine. "How to get a beach body. Step 1: Go to the beach. Step 2: Done." I have never colored up this particular Bugaboo beach digi, so I printed her out and colored her in happy colors. Then I looked over at my paper collection and noticed this calendar page sitting on top. It's probably ten years old--a Coral Reef calendar. I thought it made a great background for this image and matches the colors really nicely. We are also told that Marla loves to collect shells, so I added two Eyelet Outlet seashell brads.

Yeah -- your calendar page is awesome for the bg layer. As is that great advice to get a beach body. Love your digi and especially the way you colored her up in your favorite colors. The shells are the perfect finishing touch. I think Marla will want to be by the sea sipping a cocktail when she sees this...another great suggestion there. LOL. Great card and so fun. Definitely a smile producer.
