Wanna Beach It Up??



 There 's a new challenge at Time Out starting today. It's a "Pick 2" challenge where we are challenged to  pick at least 2 of the six given cues and incorporate them into our projects. You may pick more than 2 but you must pick at least 2. Our cues this time are: Vacation, Summer, Camping, Sun, Water and Ice Cream.

We are generously sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs with an offer of a $25 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner. In addition, the winner will receive an invitation to join us as a Guest Designer for a future challenge.


We 
are joined by Sherri Schmidt, winner of Time Out #310, as Guest Designer.
Sherri is a talented card maker and a frequent player at Time Out. Check out her wonderful Hard on the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can link to her card on Flickr.

For my card, I chose Summer and Water. I used products fro several different companies to create a beachy, Summer scene. I just LOVE the sentiment. So. Much. Fun. 

Please head on over to the the Time Out Challenge Blog and join us in the gallery. Pick at least 2 of our queues for your project! Don't forget to tell us in your post, what your picks were. I can't wait to see where your imagination takes you!

I love how you created the beach and water, Stephanie. And what a fun beach umbrella. Definitely a summer look.

That sentiment is everything and knowing you - the answer is a definitive YES! I love the texture that you managed to create with the shimmering water and soft sand. I also love that you chose 3 shades of pink/red for the umbrella. Fabulous card
