Featured Projects -- Life's a Beach

Wow--what fabulous "beach" projects!! I enjoyed going through all of them, and they sure made me want to be at the beach! As always, it was hard to pick a top 3, as there were so many great entries (lots of super sweet beach images). Alas, I actually picked 4 -- here were some of my favs:

Cheryl--I loved the colour and overall design of this layout:

Dianne -- as a redhead, I perhaps picked this subconsciously (I sure would love to have that beach bod), but you cannot deny this great design and colouring!

Kim Mc -- This is one of 2 great cards Kim entered (click link to see the other); I loved her double wave border trim on this one and the fluffy clouds

Chris -- love how she paired the super sweet image with the tropical paper!

Ladies, feel free to grab our Featured button in the sidebar to display on your blog!
Be sure to stop by tomorrow for out new challenge!

Happy Summer everyone!! Let's celebrate it with this week's challenge called:

The Story

One day a group of girlfriends got together to play with their papers, stamps, markers, ribbons, buttons and the rest of their seemingly endless supply of other 'have-to-have' scrapbooking and card making goodies. It was so much fun to talk, share, laugh and create with each other that they decided to create a blog that would motivate, inspire and challenge them on a weekly basis to use some of the supplies they have acquired. They also thought it would be fun to have all the other girlfriends out there join in and share their creations based on the weekly challenges. So, grab your wagon full of goodies (we know you have one!), get creative and have fun!
