AYSI356 Last Hurrah for Summer

Happy Friday, stampers! It's time for a new challenge from As You See It, and this is a lovely sketch--you know I love things in "threes", so this is right up my alley!  Here's the sketch:

I have been very neglectful of the pretty In Color Summer Splash, so I decided to give it a last summer hurrah, using some summery, beachy elements!  Here we go:

I diecut three banners from the Summer Splash DSP and added a wee bit of ribbon behind each one.  Then I embellished each one with some elements from the Notes & Totes dies, and put everything on a piece of Basic White cardstock embossed with the Seashells embossing folder:

I added a little sentiment from Choose Happy, and some more ribbon:

 We've had an exceptionally cool August and I feel like mother nature is going to come back with a warmer-than-normal September!  We'll see if my prediction comes true, LOL!  Meanwhile, I hope you'll play with our triple-banner sketch!  Share it over at As You See It and take a peek at what the other design team members created!  Thanks for visiting today!  And here are a couple more pictures from vacation:

Cassidy is burying her friend in the sand--she asked to be buried, crazy!

Dana, Wayne and Cassidy revisited the cute little gazebo where they got married---it will be eight years go next week!! Time flies!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Happy Thursday, everyone! We just returned from a nice beachy vacation at the lovely little Delaware town of Lewes (pronounced "Lewis").  I don't think I ever had an August vacation where the weather was as perfect as we had this past week!  Just delightful!  But I was itching to get back in my craft room and I admit I feel a bit rusty!  Dana gave me some pretty papers for my birthday and I decided to use one of them for the FMS sketch this week.  Here's the sketch:

And here's my soft feminine take on it:

I diecut a circle and some leaves from the papers, mounting them on a piece of Very Vanilla embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder, then added a little organdy rose that SU had a LONG time ago!!  I also added a couple of little glimmer paper swirly diecuts for fun:

The sentiment diecut is from Waffle Flower.  I left the inside blank; I'll fill that in when I decide to send it to a friend!  Thanks for popping in today!

A couple of pictures from vacation; we ate dinner one evening at the Cape May-Lewes ferry terminal while we watched the ferry go out:

This cool mural greets you as you go into the terminal:

It amazed me how many cars, trucks and RVs they were able to get aboard!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
