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 my goodness gracious me, how wonderful is this!!!! Your colouring is out of this world. There will be a queue 42,000 miles long of teapotters waiting to get tickled but this. Everything about this makes me smile. I can't wait to settle in for a visit at summerwalkdesigns!!
