Vacation at the Beach
Welcome to another Sensational Saturday at Sugar Creek Hollow. This week we have a fun challenge for. We want you to make a vintage, shabby chic or primitive card that depicts a VACATION AT THE BEACH.
When we designed this challenge we assumed that everyone in North America, the UK and parts of Europe would be in the throes of winter and would be looking forward to something warm. Well it is cold and snowy in many places but there sure is some odd warm weather happening in others. Nevertheless, we think many of you would enjoy a vacation at the beach right about now. I know I would so I am leaving for a week in Aruba tomorrow. Our neighbours have a house there and invited us down. We are earning this trip though because we are looking after their house (including the birds and plants) for the whole winter.
One random winner will receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display. In addition, the Design Team will choose one project as Card of the Week and the creator will receive a badge and will be in the running for a Guest Designer spot.
Our Design Team has created wonderful cards with a beach theme and it is so much fun seeing how different they are. If you want the details on their cards, just click on their name and you will be taken directly to their blog.
My card features a gorgeous image from Isabella's Sketchbook along with a verse I found online and turned into some word art.

This is so pretty Cec! I love the fabric you used. I've never heard that verse, it's very pretty. I almost used that SAME blue speckled paper on mine until I found "sand" paper in my stash. Small world. The sand dollar cutouts are adorable. Oh, and we don't normally comment on our anything goes challenges at Party Time Tuesdays because there are just too many but since I'm here anyways (wink)...thanks for playing along! Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Hope you're feeling well too.
