How much fun is this? Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper in bright, bold graphics and hues of Real Red, Summer Sun, Tempting Turquoise, Cameo Coral and Chocolate Chip! It makes me want to hop on a plane headed for Florida, sit by the pool and soak in some sunshine! My first project today actually helps me do that as I remember our wonderful vacation to Florida a few years ago. This scrapbook page shares some treasured moments from our trip to Sea World! I began with a base of Cameo Coral and inked all edges with Chocolate Chip Ink. I couldn't resist that bright, bold sunburst graphic on one of the papers so put just a strip of that down the side, mounted on Real Red and Chocolate Chip that was punched with the new Eyelet Border Punch. I added some 1/4" Real Red Grosgrain ribbon and three bows tied down the side! The flowers are all cut with the Big Shot and the new Embosslet's dies and the Flower Daisies #2 Die. I added some smaller flowers stamped with One of Kind and punched with the Boho Blossoms Punch and some Rhinestone brads. The letters were stamped with the Big Deal Alphabet. Fun page and fun memories!
I just love the way this next card turned out. There's just something about the combination of Real Red and Chocolate Chip that I love. And this fun daisy print from the DSP pack was perfect for this happy card. The flower was again cut with the Flower Daisy #2 die and the sentiment is from Hope Happens. I again inked the edges of everything with Chocolate Chip ink. I added a Chocolate Chip button from Button Latte and tied it with a bit of Linen Thread.
This last card is simply fun, fun, fun, using the Pink Flamingo image from one of the DSP sheets. And I thought this sentiment from Hope Happens was absolutely perfect for the 
flamingo and his bird friend! I used a Flower Ribbon Pull from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware set and some 5/8" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon for this run ribbon treatment!
So there you go, even if you can't hop on a plane to Florida, you can make some beautiful, tropical cards and scrapbook some wonderful sunny memories using Pink Flamingo Designer Series Papers.
