"Yo Ho A Pirates Life for Me!"

"Yo Ho A Pirates Life for Me!" Pirates of the Caribbean Card

Hello everyone!   It is beginning to warm up and spring is  in the air!  Yay!  We love spring and look forward to the sunshine and warmer weather. The flowers and garden! Can't wait! 

I was completely inspired by Lawn Fawn's Challenge (link at the end of the post) -Inspired by a book, movie or song. There are so many great options that I think the hardest part was picking just four!!!!!!  did multiple cards, too many to enter into the challenge but I just couldn't stop! It was so much fun! I could only enter in a few so I picked the ones I liked best. There is a link for the similar one I entered at the end of the post. This is one that I loved but just not enough to make it in the challenge. So my dad and I have been on a Pirate watching streak so we have watched almost all the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series! So I wanted to make a card that went along with what was in my brain and I haven't made a Movie Themed card yet! 

I really hope you enjoy this card as much as I did making it! p.s. there is also a mini video showing  how I made this card and the other one at the end of this post

"Yo ho, you ho, a pirate’s life for me.

We’re beggars and blighters and ne’er do-well cads,

Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho.

Aye, but we’re loved by our mommies and dads,

Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho."
