This week the teaparty is headed to the Great White North...Canada! This card seems extremely out of place with the weather so VERY cold...but dear girlfriends, Essie and Kendra work together, enjoy taking their dogs to the beach and sneak out for Pepsi and salt & vinegar chips. Elke supported Kendra when she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Shortly after Kendra's surgery, Elke found a lump. These bosom buddies are now fighting breast cancer together.
I know there are four ladies, so lets just say their two favorite nurses went along for some fun! The card reads,
"Remember when...You Tube meant of floaty device for one?"
Hopefully Kendra will get a little laugh from this silly card I stamped, paper pieced and fussy cut the ladies, then used a wobbler to attach them to the blue panel. I cut two borders (one in white and one in Pool Party) and used them above the main image. I used the negative pieces below. The White panel is a 6" circle and the base for the image and die cuts is a light blue, 5" scalloped circle (with the top third folded back) and attached to the white base. I hope that makes sense
I am making a card for Elke too, but will let it be a surprise for her since she is a SCS member

Hi Kathleen!! This is just one super cute and hilarious card. I love those gals. Been toying around getting this set. The images are not only a hoot, but the sentiments that go along with them are side busting. I have that MB die too and just used it for the first time on a card for DGD to congratulate her on her swimming accomplishments. I love how you made all those bubbles too and to use a wobbler on the ladies, ingenious girlfriend! I can just see the look on their faces when they open up this card and see all these well, out of shape ladies wobbling in the waves. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

This is a hoot, Kathleen - and laughter is certainly a great medicine so this is a wonderful card for the TPT challenge this week. Fabulous colouring on the image and I am amazed at what you've done with the MB border to create the water.
