Dianes Rambles: At The Seaside

Oh dear, boys and girls.......where on earth has our summer gone !!

Perhaps The Crafty Pad Challenge this week can lift your spirits a bit !! Our challenge theme is "At The Seaside" this week and want to see anything to do with the seaside on your projects !!

We have TWO sponsors with TWO fab prizes up for grabs !!

Letraset with a set of mid tone promarkers

And The Stamping Boutique with 3 digi images

All the DT's from Team A got to play with some fab images from The Stamping Boutique and being on Team A I got to play with "Summer Laundry Line"

Doesn't this image just bring back all those happy seaside hols you have had, walks along the beach in the warm sunshine, watching the world go by.........

I printed off the image twice so I could decoupage the washing line. All was coloured in with promarkers even the background. The fence is cut using a Marianne die and the sentiment "Life's a Beach" is from The Crafty Pad Designs. You can't see on the photo, but I have glazed the bucket, spade, ball and the lenses of the sunglasses.

So pop over to The Crafty Pad Challenge Blog to see what all the other team members have to inspire you and cheer yourself up by having a go at our challenge !! You might be a WINNER !!

The EmBellished Card - Belinda said...: Lovely. The sunset colors are terrific. Brings back many memories @ the lake. Did not live close enough to go to the seashore. But the memories are very similar I bet. Thanks for playing along with us @ Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges.
Blessings,
