Ted Tent Topper ~ TCCCB Challenge

I am back with another card for The Crafters Café Challenge Blog (TCCCB).  

Our sponsor this week is Di's Digis 

The challenge runs from September 24th to October 8th

The theme for this challenge is a shaped card
 

I like to make tent topper cards, and I hope that is considered a "shape"?

 

Here is the inside of my card:

Happy Memorial Day from the Calendar Girls

Happy Memorial Day!

Since it is also the 28^th,  I am here to welcome you to another round with the Calendar Girls!

Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers.

This month hostess is Me! Here is the challenge I posted:

Here is the Challenge for the Month of May ~ Memorial Day--a day of honor, remembrance, family picnics, parades, flags placed at cemeteries, concerts and the unofficial start to summer! So the challenge this month for the Calendar Girls is to ink up a patriotic stamp, get out the red/white/blue paper and DSP to post a card that shouts respect to your country and those who have served in the past. I would also like you to note in your post on the 28th what is in your plans this year or what typically has been part of your celebration in the past years on Memorial Day.

So, I went to my favorite company, Whipper Snapper and inked up a cute stamp that has two of my favorite things for May—flowers and a flag!  I used some new designer paper I recently bought and made a tent topper card.  I have seen this style of card usually with ovals or circles on the top—but I used a deckled rectangle for mine.

We typically have a cookout and invite some friends over to enjoy some grilled food.  We try to eat outside and enjoy the view of our flower gardens.  This year, today will be the last day of our week-long vacation at a cabin on a lake in Northern Wisconsin. There will be six friends who are joining us at the end of the week to spend some time with us and four of them will be here today.  If the weather cooperates, we hope to spend some time on the pontoon on the lake, grill out at the house and head for home………………
