Beach scene

Hello and happy first day of July everyone! I can't believe it's July already. That means that there is a new challenge over at the Die Cut Diva's blog. This months theme is all about summer and patriotism! So many possible ideas for summer... picnics, swimming, vacations etc... Stop by the Die Cut Divas blog and play along for a chance to win.

Our sponsor this month is Dies R Us. You should head over and check out their online store. They have a

lot of brand options to chose from and the shipping rates are good for both USA and international customers!

My first card for the month is a beach theme. It was one of the first things that popped in my head when I heard the word summer.

For my card I did a center stair step card to set my scene. I cut my patterned paper to size, die cut my sand and adhered it all to the card. I then stamped, colored and die cut my images. Using some more pattern paper and a piece of vellum I punched the waves. After I got all my pieces attached, I stamped some birds and the sentiment.

It's still setting in my craft area at the moment as decor!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!
Monica
