Summer Parasol

SECOND POST OF THE DAY!!!  If you are looking for Craft Your Day's Away Challenge post it is HERE.  This is a rarity for me lately as I don't seem to get much time lately to craft other than my DT cards.  This one I just took myself off and crafted for ME!!!


Products Used

Stamp:- Summer Parasol - JSHM015 - House-Mouse Designs - Joanna Sheen
DP and Sentiment:- House-Mouse Inserts CDROM Volume One - Joanna Sheen
Promarkers
Punches:- Sun - Woodware Craft
Flip Flops - Button Fun - 2288 and
Glitter Sunglasses - 4429 both from Dress it Up
Ribbon from my stash (I know the knot and tails are plain.  I must have tied this bow 5 times but couldn't get it so the plain side didn't show. The best thing to do is not to use patterned one side ribbon) Lol!!!
