Beach Card For Summer

As summer comes closer to an end, I crave doing the summer time activities before we can't do them anymore.....going to the beach, attending the fair, summer picnics, spending time in the garden, etc.  What summer activities do you love to do and which ones will you miss the most??

With that in mind, I created this summer themed card with Laura's Sketch 58 at 2 Sketches 4 You.  I rotated the sketch to make it work with my theme.  I loved using the Coredinations cardstock for this card.  The different shade in the core of the cardstock stand out when sanded and really make the card...especially on the sand and waves.  I also created it for the Lil Red Wagon Summer Theme Challenge.

        Cardstock: Coredinations, Stampin' Up!
        Die Cuts: Cricut Expression with H20, Every Day Paper Dolls,
            Life's A Beach, and George cartridges
        Embossing: Cuttlebug with D'Vine Swirls embossing folder
        Other: Hemp twine and button

I am also entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #23
Have a great day!!
Hugs,
