RECIPE:

• size A card cut using blue Recollection Card Stock
• background is DCWV All About Boys -- isn't that just purrfect
• anchor was cut to 3-inches using Cricut's Life is a Beach Cartridge
• waves were cut to 3-inches also using Cricut's Life is a Beach Cartridge
• the "1" charm was cut 1.5 inches also using Cricut's Life is a Beach Cartridge
• front sentiment was made by Paulette from Create with TLC just for Adam, "Anchors Away It's Adam's First Birthday!" with faux stitching around the edges
• inside sentiment is also a from from Create with TLC, Birthday Treat, which is one of my very most favorite sentiments to use for a birthday as it is not only wonderful for kids but adults alike - which was chalked around the edges and also placed on the DCWV All About Boys
• bakery twine is from my ribbon collection

Oscar the Grouch Wishing Gayle a Happy Birthday!!!

My dear friend Gayle has been in my life since my daughter was in Brownies and now Jen is 33 years of age. That's a long time to have someone as your friend. She has been there for me in sew many ways and for this I have made a very special card for her birthday - what you say???? How can you make an Oscar the Grouch card for a dear friend for her birthday - WELL, you don't know Gayle!!!

When Paulette of Create with TLC had this recent freebie, Grouch Paradise - I knew exactly what my card should be:

RECIPE:

• card was cut 4.5 x 9 inches using Cricut Cartridge Life is a Beach Square Card on page 40 - can't you just picture Oscar sunning himself in his garbage can on a moonlit beach?? background paper is black Recollection card stock with the backdrop tye-dye piece of scrap paper which reminded me of a sunset cut at 4.5 x 4.5 inches
• Oscar the Grouch was cut at 3.75 inches using Cricut Sesame Street Friends Cartridge on page 55 as it reminded me of him saying either get away or hey there!!! all paper-piecing was done using scraps and then chalked around the edges and puff-dotted for dimension
• sentiments, Grouch Paradise and Gumpy is the New Happy were from Create with TLC and were chalked around the edges - don't they just make you want to burst out in song???
• palm  tree was colored using Prisma Colored Pencils with Chocolate Delight Pearls for the coconuts

Well, Happy Birthday Gayle!!!! Hope you have a super wonderful birthday!!!

I thank you for stopping by and visiting today. I appreciate and love reading your comments . . is your comment the next one I read??? 

Much love, hugs, and friendship

This is a combination of itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini and soaking up the rays to relax playing beach blanket bingo with the waves just rolling in!!! 

With that being said, here's the recipe

the bikini along with the sand was cut from Nifty Fifties

the sun, waves, palm tree and the word "relax" with the beach chair cut from Life's a Beach

the paper from the card was cut from a fabulous package of papers from Pat Catan's which was one terrific bargain for about 30 pieces for $2.00!!!!

the balance of my papers were from my scrap bin

Now, granted, this body will never ever see a bikini again in this lifetime, but a girl can wish!!!!  There's always that beach chair in the sand wishing for that coconut drink brought by the cabana boy!!!! A girl can always dream!

Hope you had a great birthday Barbara and I thank all of you attending our three (3) day hop. I had a great time making these projects and hope you enjoyed!!!

God Bless

Hugs and Love
