Happy Tuesday and time for another new Cue Card at CASology!
This week the cue word is:
To begin with I created a soft sky with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I used Lawn Fawn's Life Is Good Then I stamped my sand hill and sentiment followed by adding some Vintage Linen Distress stamp set today. Ink for the sand. The trees and hammock were stamped, coloured, die cut and then adhered to finish the scene.
By the Way it is Lawn Fawn's 5th birthday today--so sending a big Happy Birthday to Lawn Fawn!

Have a look at what the rest of the Design Team has created to inspire you...
I am also submitting this to the current Lawnscaping Challenge: Dots & Stripes
This week things are buzzing at home as we are getting my daughter packed and ready to head to Europe this Friday! She leaves Friday evening for a 10 day trip with her school, during our March Break. Flying into Rome and spending the first 4 1/2 days touring there, leaving from Pompeii on an overnight ferry to Greece, spending the next four days touring Greece and departing from Athens to home on the final day. Envious yes, and before you ask no parent chaperones, but one teacher for every 6 students. I can live with that and no sleep for 10 days!

I love how you've coloured and die cut but it's still so CAS!
Perfect, Tracey! I want to be laying in that hammock. :)
How exciting for your daughter but nerve wracking for you! Hugs!
Love your beach scene with the hammock - so cute! Hope your daughter has a great time and you can survive those 10 days!!
You'll be fine, and so will Brooklyn - so looking forward to hearing some stories! I sent both Natalie, and Stacey, on a choir tour with their high school - I did worry, but was so thrilled for that opportunity for them both. Love the card - need to jump into it!

I want to be in THAT hammock!! Cute card Tracey! Your baby girl will be just fine. I know it's senseless to say don't worry...but prayer will help you through it!!
I would love to have that hammock in my backyard, but I would also like to live where I had those palm trees in my backyard too! Such a cute scene! I'm so excited for your daughter! My grandma was a Latin teacher and took her students to Italy and Greece every other year. She always had students come up to her years later thanking her for that amazing experience!
Adorable! LOVING the palm trees!!!!!
Adorable card, Tracey! Love it! And I'm sure your daughter will have an amazing time! Though being a mom, I can feel what you'll be going through. ;) Hang in there...she'll be back before you know it!

Love your tropical card, Tracey! Beautiful coloring and perfect CAS design, as always! I would love to be lying down on that hammock drinking a cocktail right now...thanks for the fantasy :)
Good luck to Brooklyn on her trip! You've raised her well, so I know she'll be fine...even though it will cost you sleep, what can you do, right? I'm sure she's going to have an amazing time!

Very CUTE card with the hammock and trees! Wish I was in a hammock on a tropical island right now!:-)
How CUTE is this!! I Love the fun tropical card with that lovely white space. It draws the eye right in. Stunning design!!

Sitting and swaying in that hammock would definitely be the good life! Love the soft sky you created - it highlights it without overwhelming it.
And what an adventure for Brooklyn! Hope she has a fabulous time!
Super cute Tracey!! Thanks so much for coming by, cheering me up today as I have that dreaded stomach buggy..also it took 4 hours for my DH to get the internet up..miserable and miserable, LOL...but your great creations are so cheering me up!!!!
Also love your Virginia View card too! Sometimes it is good to get out of your comfort zone. I have been trying this as well.
Such a great CAS card! :) Thanks so much for playing along with us at Lawnscaping Challenges! :)
That hammock looks so inviting. How wonderful that Brooklyn has this opportunity.
How exciting for Brooklyn! (Hang in there, Mom!) I adore the die cut images on your fun tropical card!
Oh my...this is just about as adorable as it gets. I love your fabulous tropical scene you created, so sweet.
What a delicious scene, Tracey ... just my perfect spot ... how did you know?!! Waving to Brooklyn ... she'll so enjoy herself! Anita :)
Your hammock and palm trees scene has me craving a tropical travel destination! Ultra sweet! What an exciting adventure for your daughter; she'll have an excellent - and safe - time! I went on a trip like this years ago - as a teacher chaperone - to Spain. Everything worked out wonderfully and I know your daughter's will, too. Excited to hear stories as she shares them with you!
Hugs~c
beautiful CAS card! :)
Tracey, your hammock looks like a very inviting tropical smile! Love this stamp set!! Love your VV card too!! I have made so few cards recently. Looking forward to a break in proceedings. Looking at the pics of your daughter and friends travelling abroad made my stomach twinge a little too. 😉That will undoubtedly be in my future when my boys are old enough. What an amazing adventure for her! Big hugs for you too while she's living and learning away from home! Xx
I just join Tropical challenge hope you like to visiting me again dear Tracey
see you soon and big hugs
Monika
