I used the "Get Outta Town" set to create my card.

Happy Hour

"Get Outta Town" is full of fun images with a vacation vibe. I used the tiki drink, sunglasses, small flower, and a sentiment to create a little beach hut shaped card. Hmm, kinda wish I was there right now :)

All righty then, good luck, and be sure to check back Saturday to see if you've won!
