This is actually my second entry for Festive Friday Challenge #63, but since I recently got some new “goodies” and was also in need of a birthday card for a friend’s pool party this weekend, I was motivated to use them and enter my latest card in the challenge!

The paper I used was designed by the owner of a local stamp/scrapbook store. I was there a while ago looking for paper for a special project, but couldn’t find just the right one. I didn’t even know she created and printed papers for her store, so when she let me know she had come up with something I might like I went in and loved it.

The die cuts are from Honey Bee Stamps, and living in Arizona I almost always have on flip flops. When I saw samples that used this set I couldn’t resist getting it!
