Picnic: noun, often attributive

When we dig into picnic, we find the word pick.

Picnic comes from the French pique-nique, which probably came from piquer, meaning "to pick or peck."

The original picnic, in 18th-century England, was more like what we'd call a potluck: all the attendees would bring a dish.

And the big difference? That shared meal wasn't necessarily eaten outdoors.

Paper Smooches - July 8-14 Designer Drafts challenge

 I really struggled with this card, the background in particular, because I didn't want it to overpower my image. Since I am so stubborn, I re-did this card 3 times. Now a good thing came from being as cheap frugal as I am..or lazy, depending on how you look at it. Every time I redid it I kept cutting out the same image so it has a build up of paper which in turn gives it a chipboard like dimension!

 I loved that I could combined the 2 stamp sets together so well. I love adding the pelican perched on top of the signage...which is perfect for adding your sentiment into.
