So, gotta tell you ......... before I hooked up with this tea party thing, I think I was pretty normal -whatever that is these days! Now, I swear I have become a looney tune! Cindy tells these tall tales
and, don't know about you, but I don't have "baseball" or "parrot" stamps - guess I'll be on the lookout though. I spend ages looking at on line images as I KNOW I can't find stamps I need in stores here...... I end up with the most bazaar images! When I saw this guy I KNEW I had to use him - I did capture about 50 other parrot's but it HAD to be this one! He makes me GIGGLE! I only hope that it makes Eula giggle too! I had a lovely, prissy parrot that was probably more appropriate but then, at 108 you've probably seen it all - but maybe not a parrot havin' a cocktail on the beach though?
So, here you have it! Beaufer went to St. Lucia a bit early to organize things for the BIG party! Eula and Starlet are not due in for another few hours so he thought he's catch a few rays and brighten up his feathers ..... and one little drinkie poo never hurt any parrot he knew! But, don't worry! He won't drink & drive - his brother is picking them up as Beaufer doesn't have an International Chauffer's licence!
Printed the image 3 times, cut out and popped up tree, feathers and hat. The flip flops are buttons and the sand is Flowersoft. Crystal Laquer on his glasses and drink and tiny little 3-D butterflies.

That's one groovy chick - er, parrot! He looks hilarious lying back in the chair like that, and I suspect that umbrella might be an indication that he has a penchant for alcoholic beverages...

Sqwauk! Whata lush! Don't say hush! You're a lush! Squawk!
Hey...don't blame me for your goofiness! Snort! You are the one that wanted some Rocky images and took the double dawg dare to come to a tea party! Snort! Besides, is anyone really normal? Not me! And now not you! But then that is not something anyone is debating is it!
OMG! I love, love, love, that you take 42,000 hours to find the perfect image and then another 42,000 hours to put a card together because each and every one is sheer perfection! Besides the Martha Stewart (it must be sheer perfection sid of you!) has been wanting to come out for a very long time......didn't ya wonder why you were having dinner parties recently?????
This card is about the cutest darn thing on the face of the earth! Giggle! I love it and so will Eula....it will make her just smile from ear to ear! Tee hee! You rocked this challenge..that is one relaxed, happy, having fun, chillin' Beaufer, the Chauffeur......I mean LUSH!!!

Don't we all get a little goofy on Tuesdays!!! But it's so much fun and so is this card. Wow. What's not to like here. Such a relaxed atmosphere. Nothing like a laid back bird with a drink!!! I think it will make Miss Eula giggle for sure!

If this is looney tunes, I want to be there! LOVE this card... your booze swizzling parrot is hilarious... he reminds me of Leon Redbone. The flip flops, umbrella and butterflies really complete the whole scenario. This card that will be passed around repeatedly by the residents at Cathedral Village!

Too, too cute! You don't need stamps when you can create like this! Such a fun card! Eula should love it.
