Design Team Inspiration


Mimi mixed and matched so many cute images to create a beach scene with Riverside Backdrop: Landscape! There is the Treat Cart flanked by palm trees from Ahoy Matey. And beach necessities from Pool Party and Car Critters Road Trip. Let’s not forget all the critters, the Veggie Happy mice have taken a break from gardening to build a sandcastle. The Treat Cart bear and Bubbles of Joy mouse are snorkeling while a pair of turtles from Little Woodland Library Friends enjoy the waves!


This Porcu-pine for You family has borrowed images from the Critters in the Desert and I Heart Pandas Add-On for their Southwest vacation! I love how Samantha included a camera for making vacation memories!


What could be a better way to spend the warm days of summer than lounging on a pool float! Joyce‘s Pool Party critters are enjoying a swim in a pool made with Stitched Pond Frame!


Christy‘s ocean critters have traveled on the waves to celebrate a special summer birthday! She stamped a subtle background of fish and seaweed from Mermaid for You, then she arranged the scene with a mermaid and ocean critters from Ocean Shell-fie, You Are Sublime and Fintastic Friends.


To create her fun in the sun design, Samantha combined images from On the Beach and Pool Party and a sentiment from Treat Cart. I love the amazing beach background and the cute critter playing in the waves created with Sandy Beach Accents.


This group of tropical friends from Simply Celebrate More Critters are enjoying a beautiful sunset! Karin layered Sunrise Backdrop with Tropical Backdrop to make an amazing silhouette sunset. Then she added a greeting from Winter Village.


The cute Capybaras are ready to celebrate a summer birthday on Franci‘s clean and simple design!


Mayra had the same thought as Christy, ocean critters taking a trip to celebrate a birthday! She started with a stenciled background using Ocean Waves Stencil and framed the scene with a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Square Window. Then she assembled all the cute critters from Keep on Swimming, You Are Sublime, Mermaid for You, Ocean Shell-fie and Fintastic Friends. She grouped them around the Cake It Easy cake! And then she added a sentiment combining phrases from Duh-Nuh Flip-Flop and Pool Party.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Summertime Fun: critters on vacation challenge over the next 2 weeksBe sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 198 – Up, Up and Away!

Design Team Inspiration


This puppy pack is having fun across the pond in Catherine‘s brilliant “happy summer” card! She featured Simply Celebrate Critters on a double decker bus made using the gift card die cut from Flippy Flappy and 1″ Stitched Squares. She used Plaid Stencils to create the Union Jack. Be sure to check out Catherine’s blog for more details.


Samantha created a fun “bears at the beach” scene! With bears from Den Sweet Den and Snow Much Fun she added in beachy images from On the Beach and Pool Party!


Karin‘s little critters from Fly High are off on a hot air balloon adventure! Her simply beautiful card also features Fancy Scalloped Rectangle and stenciled clouds.


Franci brought out an older favorite set, Life is Good to create two fun “critters on vacation” cards! Her cute critters from Say What? Pets are having fun at the coast!



Giant Hello Sunshine is the perfect greeting for Joyce‘s fantastic beach scene! She used the bear and beachy accessories from On the Beach for this relaxing critter holiday! I love the pink clouds and coordinating umbrella and beach ball!


Christy‘s Hive Five bees are enjoying a “stay-cation”, staying home at the hive to celebrate a summer birthday! She made this brilliant shaker card with Honeycomb Backdrop and Chunky and Prisma Glitter.


Samantha‘s vacationing unicorns are building a sandcastle at the beach in this happy scene! Sunray Backdrop layered over Watercolor Wishes paper provides the sunshine while Build-A-Castle is the impressive sand sculpture! Samantha added lots of sunny color with images from Unicorn Picnic, A Little Sparkle and On the Beach!


Mimi‘s mice are having a “swell” day hitting the waves! She combined mice from Just Plane Awesome, Sew Very Mice and Really High Five along with surfboards and shells from Beachy Christmas. I love how she replaced the paper airplane and embroidery hoop with surfboards using masking. She used Build-A-House and Stadium Seating to make the beach hut and Stitched Wave Borders for the surf.

We will share more Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 WEEKS and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 150 – Photo Inspiration: Botanical on Friday June 23!
