I could not resist posting again today after I found
this challenge at The Friday Mashup, it fit my mood too well for this past weekend. Yes, there is still a bunch of snow in my yard, but considerably less than on Friday. And my driveway is 99% free of snow/ice. So yes, it kind of was like a birthday for the sunshine :)
The challenge was to create something showcasing sunshine. Instant love and inspiration!
I even like the Summer Starfruit on this card. And incidentally, the stamps I used are retiring also. I used sentiment stamps from two sets. The "sunshine" is from Pursuit of Happiness, the stamps that reads "Live in the sunshine-Ralph Waldo Emerson". I just used Scotch tape to mask up the words I didn't need while I inked up the stamp on the inkpad, then peeled the tape off before stamping. Slick trick I learned from one of my stampin' friends. Sorry, I don't remember which friend, but THANKS! It is an awesome trick :)

Wonderful sunshine card, one cant help but smile when looking at it!
Here in Alaska I still have plenty of snow in my yard also, with snow forecast for later in the week. I love it though, I would have snow year round if I could! My BFF lives outside of Crookston MN and she is ready for warm weather :)
Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Friday Mashup!
Absolutely gorgeous card! I love the clouds on the pool party! Such a bright, happy card.
Such a pretty card. I love the colors and the white outline on the yellow paper.
Love it, Tanya! What a fun sentiment.. and your signature outlining really makes the sun pop. Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup this week.
What a happy, sunshiny card! Love the color combo and the combination of layers you used.
One thing, the tape trick is a good one - as long as you remember to take the tape off before you stamp. ;)
