A Mermaids Crafts: Chillaxin'

**Today is the last day to enter my blog candy giveaway!! Click HERE to enter**

Happy Saturday! It's a warm and humid 90 here today and there is nothing I rather be doing than relaxing in a cabana by the ocean, drinking an ice-cold fruity cocktail, listening to the waves lapping the shore. Ahhh...Heaven! Since I can't acutally do that, I made a wall hanging to gaze at and dream :)

Most of the paper I used is from DCWV's Tahiti stack. Chillaxin is from Groovy Times and I welded it together with the reclining woman image from Pack Your Bags on my Gyspy. I also changed out her drink for one from Life's a Beach...it was way more tropical-looking. The sun is from Life's a Beach, attached with wire. The netting is from a roll of Christmas ribbon, and I cut the wire edges off and frayed the ends to make it look like it was blowing in the breeze. The little ladybug is from Create a Critter.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

BugBites Grillin' & Chillin' Bug Hop - Grillin' & Chillin' project...include hidden critter (ladybug)
Paper Cutz Challenge #94 - beach or travel theme
DYSU Challenge Blog - orange

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)

I have to learn how to weld. I don't have a gypsy, but my brand new broken and replaced Imagine is supposed to get here next week. Talk to you soon! Chriss

Jessica Buffa said...: Wow...that is so super cool!!!! Love it! Her polka dot bathing suit turned out great. You always get the "cuts" just right. I love what you did with the ribbon. Great idea to cut the wire out. I never thought of that and a lot of times I don't use the ribbon because the wire takes away from the project. Awesome!!!
