Island Girls Social #2 - FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Happy Sunday!  Wow, yesterday was a fun-filled day for me.  I attended Teri's (big Ideas From A Little Girl) Island Girls Social #2 & had a blast!  Thank you so much Teri for organizing and getting local, island girls together for some FUN, laughter, make 'n takes, and great food!  Thanks also to Joy, the proud owner of Tamiko's!  Joy and her family allowed us to SHOP and buy products she offers at her Online Store.  Better yet, we all got our craft stuff right there in our hands!  :)  Joy's hubby and son did a fantastic job MC-ing the event!  Great job!  Just want to add that Joy has a new personal blog called Things of Joy.  Check her out there and become a follower!

Teri is so good and is always looking for ways to help our community.  She set up a card contest where all those that participated made an A2 card in the colors of pink, green, and black . . . the colors of Tamiko's.  These cards were going to be donated to a local charity!  Awesome to give back and yet we all have fun creating from the heart.   Here is my card that I made for the contest.  I altered 2 TGF images, both you can get at Tamiko's Online Store --- the head of Friday and the body of Flirty Anya.  I created a Swing (Flip Flop) Card.  You can find the tutorial {HERE}. 


Here's a snapshot as the card is slightly pulled apart.


There, now the image is on the reverse side and the back side is now appearing in the front.  This is where your sentiment or message would be.  Teri asked that we keep the cards sentiment-free.


Here's Flirty Friday on the backside of the card.


Did you notice that she's not wearing her earphones?  I totally wiped them away and drew in her hair.  Black Diamond Stickles was added to some stands of Fridays hair and to her polka dot dress and shoes.


Ok, that's it for me!  Yesterday was a long day for me and I'm not quite recuperated back to my normal self.  I'll be back to share another card I made for a special friend.  :)
