I'm kinda excited about this weeks challenge! I had lots of ideas and no time. (Busy busy with ball and important stuff like going to the pool! hehe!) ;) SO when I put my first card together, I was happy it worked! This week we are supposed to use something "clear"...vellum, acetate etc. So here is my card using a little vellum...
...and sand! That's right! I figured if glitter would work, then sand should too, right? I added 3 strips of half inch score tape and then went out to the sand box! B kept saying, "Mommy why are you putting sand on your paper?" lol. I added the vellum wrapped sentiment and some flip flops...love these new dies!!
So that is it for today! Here is this weeks challenge badge...

ReplyDeleteThis is so amazing. Why did I never think to get real sand. I live in a beach town, for goodness sake. I've probably got a pile in the garage now with all the sand pails and shells. Super cute use of those flip flops, too.
