So there's a story behind this card. Last weekend, I was talking to my husband and I was telling him about the challenges that were out and one of them was a flamingo challenge. I was kind of blankly talking about different ideas to do and he said "you should make a card about lawn flamingos!" It's kind of a joke in his family that they talk about the tacky lawn flamingos that people have, so I thought it was a great idea. So...here it is!
This card is 5x5. The patterned paper is from Recollections. I used the Cuttlebug "Just my Type" borders on the blue strip of paper. The house is cut from Create a Critter at 2 inches- it cuts relative to the size that would match the animal that is the main cut. The flamingos are from Life is a Beach at 2.5 inches. I added a couple of buttons to the top and it was ready! I'm typing this before he gets home from work (but it's publishing just slightly after he gets home) so I hope he likes it!
I plan to enter this in the following challenge:
Pause Dream Enjoy- Flamingos or pink
This is such a great card - and nothing like those tacky garden flamingoes! :-) Wonderful . TFS

Becky! That story cracks me up! Your husband is a genius. Love how your card turned out. The lawn flamingos remind me of that Gnome movie. Thanks, Becky, for playing with us again and again at Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges. I love visiting your blog. Big smiles! Have a great day, and tell your hubby "GOOD IDEA!" :) Janis
