Irish Flamingos?

So last year the DGDs were into all things unicorn; this year, flamingos are THE thing.  Hmm... a green flamingo? Why not? 

Now and again it's fun to gather together a lot of images from DS and working from a blank canvas combine them into something a wee bit different.   The flamingo comes from Christmas in July 2018 and I snipped off the Santa hat replacing it with the hat from the turtle in Create a Critter 2.  The clovers are from Celebrate with a Flourish and the leprechaun from Luck of the Irish.  All the images are available through DS Access.

Master J's card is a Lori Whitlock svg and is called a wiper card since the shamrocks flip up when the card is opened.  (??? like a windshield wiper?) 

The rainbow is glitter cardstock and I added a lot more shamrocks to the wiper mechanism so it couldn't be seen.  It should amuse him for 2 minutes before he discovers the gift card to the local Funland Center and then he'll spend the rest of the day trying to talk his mom into visiting us so he can use it!  A Grandma's gotta do what a Grandma's gotta do.

A little update here... a little over two years ago we left our beloved acreage in the hills and moved into a neighborhood.  The neighbors were wonderful, but we just couldn't settle there.  Soooo, we packed ourselves up again, sold the brand new house and retired to an older, but definitely not a cookie cutter home, at the beach.  We love it!  My craft room is now a craft corner with views of the golf course and neighboring gardens.  Cocoa adores sleeping in the sunlight which floods the room and Katie loves her daily walks on the beach.  There's a local craft store on the main street and Amazon delivers to the front porch instead of a communal mailbox. How great is that?

I am so happy to be linking my flamingle card with the Bitten by the Bug challenge here.  Pop over a look at the great projects the DT have posted.  Thank you for visiting with me today.  : ) Christine
