I couldn't wait to share my card and story with you today. This is my card entry for this weeks Tickle a Teapotter - Sum Sum Summertime: Fun in the Sun. I'm also entering this card into the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge: Make a Splash! And my card uses this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge as well: Mojo299
It's no secret I like to spin a story. And, I love a stamp with character. About a year ago I designed a card called, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and wrote a story to accompany it. It was my first Teapot Challenge and I loved it! Today's card picks up where the gals left off. Harold, and his wife, Mavis, just arrived in their sliver airstream for some Fourth of July festivities with all their old friends. Anyone up for cannonball relay!?
Come visit, sit a spell, and enjoy one of Nana Banana's stories. Bring your sweet tea, I'll provide the sugar babies : )

Oh, Susie, I so LOVE this card - full of rambunctious FUN and wild ABANDON!! Your coloring is excellent and the fussy cutting to show Harold, doing his cannonball from one shape into the other was a stroke of papercrafting genius!! Into my favs - BOY- DO I HOPE I GET YOUR TICKLE CARD!! What a hoot!! LOL
