Happy Friday! I have been doing a happy dance this last week! The Card Monkeys liked this card; the Pals Paper Arts liked this card; and the JUGS girls liked this card! Woohoo! Thanks, ladies!
Today, I made a very quick little card for three challenges. SCS’s Free for All was to make a summer-themed card; CAS-ual Fridays was a shaped card, and the Pals Paper Arts had a summertime blues color challenge of Not Quite Navy, Marina Mist and Bashful Blue.
Growing up, we spent our summers at the Delaware shore; I have lots of memories of swimming, sunning and collecting seashells, so I pulled out a retired SU set called Beautiful Beach for my little oval-shaped card:
The small-sized card paired with the large image made me decide to do CAS; I embossed the starfish with Marina Mist and Versamark inks and clear embossing powder, then filled it in with Bashful Blue ink; the background was a shell image that I repeatedly stamped in Bashful Blue as well.
The inside has another shell and sentiment:
I think this will be perfect for a summer birthday!
Speaking of summer time activities:
But a wet baby plus a newly-mown yard = this:
We put that hose to good use! Thanks for visiting today---if you have any questions, shoot me an email!

Oh LeAnne I love your seaside card, but your Granddaughter brought me welcomed laughter. Really sweet pictures!
So cute, I love the beachy feeling of this card. You know you could have added it to this week's just finished "Less is More Challenge" as it was "Shades of Blue" for the challenge.... or did you?

Beautiful card, LeAnne! When I was little we used to go to Cape Hatteras, NC. when we moved to Texas, it was South Padre Island and Port Isabel.
That's some wonderful blueness! Love it.
