I love going to the beach, and can't wait to go in a few weeks! The challenge at Kraftin Kimmies this week was to make a beach themed card. Well, that would have been really easy if I had any of their new releases from the vintage beach line or the mermaids ( which are both too stinkin cute for words!) But, alas, I had neither. As I looked through my stash of KK stamps, I decided that if I just used the top of Polly, it would look like a bathing suit.
I made the sand-dollar with my cricut, using grungeboard and MME's paper. The beachy paper is from Graphic 45.
Challenges:
Kraftin Kimmie - Beach
Oh Alice - picture inspiration
Stamp and Create - charms
Truly Scrumptious - sketch
Quirky Crafts- summer
Lexi's Creations - Something old ( chain that I glued around the sand-dollar)
Shabby Tea Room - Summer fun
Design Dollies Elements challenge - beachy/sandy
