Sizzling Summer Birthday Ted..


What a change in the weather today, the breeze is fair cool..
and NO sun at all..we did have rain thro the nite tho. great for the garden..
enuff bout the weather forecast, this cute Ted is having a sunny day at the beach..
yes I know I've used him before but lets face it you have to use it in the summer
cant have him sitting on Filey beach in the winter celebrating his Birthday!!
His ice cream cone wouldn't be melting in winter..think this little seal &
the birds are trying to wake Ted up must be lunch time....LOL
I made this card to fit a number of July 4th celebration challenges..
The Seaside Ted image is from Di at Dis Digi Downloads
coloured with markers & Prismas, mount onto nestie shapes..
the seaside design paper is from Kaiser craft pad..I used a D/L American flag
for the bunting & Whimsy pennant die.. comp. generated sentiment..string,
Ice cream charm & spotty brads from stash.. I distressed all the edges too..
