Congrats Shoregirl!  We invite you to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge.  Please email Stacey at slschaf771@aol.com for all the details!

Here is some applause from the crew...

"The beach scene is amazing. From the torn edges to the sandy beach... the weathered wood fence looks perfect."

"I love the scenery and the amazing details."







The Show Stoppers for the Bow Tie challenge are...



"LOVE the look of Deepti's card...so fresh and festive, just like a trip to the tropics!"

"Dee's watercoloured panel with the red flower is gorgeous, you can see how she was inspired by the challenge photo!"


You, Me, and the Sea card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Clear and Simple Stamps


"Loved Lori's take on the photo and wonderful mix of words for the sentiment."

" I love the way Lori arranged her sentiment on the three different banners, and the woodgrain paper is a perfect backdrop!"




"The use of colors on Lillian's card screams summer to me. summer=vacation=tropical trip!"





"Anni's colorful, striped chameleon ticked my funny bone! He's a pretty talented guy to match the background stripes! (And Anni is a talented crafter!)"




 "I love Nancy's beach scene and beautiful use of the colors. it's such a crisp, clean, and cute card!"





Be sure to check back tomorrow morning for a new challenge.
