I have been very busy trying to get my stash weeded, inventoried and cataloged. I have not been creating very much as I am trying to get this enormous project behind me, but today I was checking out my favorite challenges. I just had to drop everything and play at Just Us Girls where the current challenge is to CASE one of the designers. ALL of the cards are fabulous, but when I saw Carol Mc's card, I knew right where I had to go.
This is Carol's card. I absolutely LOVE it!
I was inspired by her multicultural women on floats in fashionable bathing suits and hats. What a fabulous take on Time Out's Fashionable Challenge too! I used Avery Elle's Splash stamps and dies to float my women friends on their donut tubes in a lovely pool with water compliments of MFT's Perfect Pool Water Stencil. I used Pretty Pink Posh's Grid Stencil to create a patio around the pool. I had a blast making this, and I just love the way Carol inspired me with her creation.

Stephanie, I love your card so much (and I own that AE set as well). The kind words in your post about my card made me smile! I could use a lesson from you on the MFT water stencil that I own and can't make it look right. So happy that you shared your floating ladies card with us this week at JUGS and hope you return again soon!!!!!!!
Stephanie this is a fabulous CASE of Carol's card - love the punny sentiment too! And perfect for our tic tac toe board - Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players this week!
Nailed it! and had the perfect supplies to do it with style! How fun is it that every one of those 'donuts' has a bite out of it??
I loved Carol's card, too, Stephanie - yours is just as fun and really fantastic!

oh I love this and the card you took inspiration from. The pool looks so inviting! and great paving work around it too. Thanks so much for joining us at Allsorts challenge.
Stephanie, what a fabulous card and a wonderful take on the inspiration! Your stenciled background is genius. It really does feel like a paved area around a fancy pool.! I want to be on those floaties with a cocktail! So glad you shared this fabulous card with us at The Paper Players this week
