On The Good Ship Lollipop With New Challenge at Create and Inspire

It's a new challenge at Create and Inspire - Are you ready to "create" with us??? We have for the challenge this week fabulous sponsor: 

Lacy Sunshine

In Pittsburgh, we have what is called the Gateway Clipper Fleet with one of the fleet being called the Good Ship Lollipop. Well, during vacation time, Lily and Adam went on the Good Ship Lollipop for a Pirate's Cruise which inspired me to use Lacy Sunshine Rory Sailing for a lay-out with my wonderful inspiration - Lily and Adam!!!

RECIPE and SUPPLIES:

• background DCW All About Boys Stack
• Rory was colored using Prisma Colored Pencils, Whisper Strokes with Stickles and gel pen accents  
• "Good Ship Lollipop" tag was made for me by Paulette at Create with TLC  which was colored with Tim Holtz Marker and chalked around the edges 
• sentiment, "Work like a Captain, Play like a Pirate", was part of Create with TLC  July Mega Club which was rounded around the corners and chalked around the edges 
• anchor button was added to "Good Ship Lollipop" with a wheel and anchor button to Rory's hat

OK, you knew, I just had to do it . . . . ready to get on your tap shoes and sing along with Shirley . . . .

Now, just for a bit of nostalgia and just in case I would ask you - Jen when she was Lily's age, her first dance show number was "On the Good Ship Lollipop" . . . I need to find a picture now in her dance costume!!!!

Now, it's your turn to create for the challenge - I can't wait to see your creative inspirations!!!!
