Who's ready for flip flops? I am!!! This is what I came up with for Julia's Ways To Use It challenge this week, to use eyelets! Here's the link to join in the fun: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
As you can see, I used eyelets to string the sheer dotted ribbon thru and create the top part of the flip flop. I used my old *Announcements* SU! set to make them invitations--say, to a pool party or beach party...I don't have a pool and I don't live near a beach, so I'm not sure what the heck I'm going to do with these, lol! I was thinking these could be cute just to send as a *Happpy Summer* or *Get Ready For Flipflops!* greeting or how about, *Time For A Pedicure*, what do you think? Anyway, this was very quick and easy to make and I'll be adding the flip flop pattern I made in the download forum under templates for anyone who wants to use it or at my blog http://linseyrickett.blogspot.com Thanks so much for looking and have great day!

Oh Linsey, what's up with this? You have no pool and you dont live near the beach, but yet to make flip flops. Okay, I'm beginning to put all the pieces together now. it took awhile,but I can see where you're going with all this! I love the idea of sending it with the 'get ready for flip flops' concept! these are simply adorable, but then everything you do is either smashing or adorable. You've got both sides of the world covered! To fun, dah-ling, way too much fun!
