Time to Head for the Beach!


Hello and Happy Tuesday, I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy the long weekend in the US like my family and I did. I am really enjoying my time off from school. Next week summer school starts but it is only 3 hours a day for four weeks and I am working with the preschool this year so we start really early and get out earlier that the elementary session. This gives me a lot of the day left to myself.

It is also time for another fantastic challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. This week Kristen let us fly free with the challenge. She picked the theme of Summertime and we could create whatever we wanted with whatever images we wanted to use. I have had this Whipper Snapper image from last summer that I never got a chance to ink up and decided to use it for my card. I thought it would make a quick, fun card. Well it turned into a maration card because I kept not thinking it wasn't perfect and changing my mind about it. Have you ever had a project that took on a life of it's own? I am glad I kept with it until I liked it.

Enough babbling from me, here are some great challenges that go along with my card

AiFactory Challenge-Embellish It!
Allsorts Challenge Week 110-Free and Easy July
Crafty Ann's Challenge #44-Get Well/ Thinking of You/Just Because
Totally Papercrafts Challenge-Let's Play Bingo, brads/die cuts, Embossing, Ribbon
Clearly Inspired Challenge #31-Punches, Die Cuts, Cut Outs

These are all fantastic challenges so be sure to stop by and play along with them.


Thanks so much for stopping by today to see what I created. I really appreciate all the wonderful comments that you leave for me to read.

Happy Creating,
Mary
