I was inspired by a card by Gencass.  See a photo of it here.   I love the layout of her card and the use of pattern papers.  My papers are all from a kit so it's not a very daring use of patterns.  They all actually kind of  blend together actually.  I love Betsy's card.  I listened intently to the video and did actually look through my scraps to try and find 3 papers that matched but I couldn't for the life of me find any!  I have pinned the tut and one of these I will duplicate Betsy's card!  I had soo much fun using PTI's flip flop diesand stamps !  My 5 year old daughter helped me choose which pattern would be used for the flip flops and how to decorate them.  I love that she loves to craft!  We made this for my son's bus driver.  I should have used the enjoy your vacation sentiment but I guess this works too.  I used a spellbinders die and inked the middle while still in the die so it left a white border.  I didn't like the space to the right of the flip flops and really wanted a sun there but I didn't have one so I improvised and use the crown (from Honey Bees).  Turned upside down it kinda resembles a sun..don't you think? 

I've gotta run!  Adoree got a new pool for her birthday and she has been dying to use it!  Happy Memorial Day!  Have a wonderful weekend!
