Hello From My Happy Place

 

I finally got a chance to break out this fabulous Spellbinders Day At The Beach die set that I have had for quite a while. Recently I ran across Gina K's Ocean Minded set and had to have it, so I broke my "no new stuff" pledge (this is becoming more and more common) LOL. I could not wait to put them together. There are 2 things I would change - the brim of the hat should be solid so that the "hello" would be more easily visible, and the second is that I had to heat emboss twice because I didn't wait long enough for the DOX ink to dry. The second stamping was off a little, but that is how the ocean looks, right?? I still love it and I can't wait to give this one a second go. I now know all the tricks of putting it together.

It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Challenge #240 is a theme challenge where we are challenged to be "sportive". I must say, that I had never heard of this word before, and so I had to Google to find a definition. It's a little hard to read on our badge, so here it is:

This offers us a lot of creative opportunity!

We are generously sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs. Winner will receive a $25 store credit and an invitation to Guest Design with Time Out for a future challenge.

We are joined by Carol McFarland of Saw it. Had to Make It. Carol is a very talented maker with such a great eye for color and design. I love Carol's work and am always inspired by it. Please treat yourself to a stroll through her blog and you will surely be inspired too!

I used Newton's Summer Treats stamps & Dies for my card. Newton is so playful, lively and spirited in whatever Newton does. I gave Newton a popsicle theme, but honestly, it's a bit too busy for my liking. I think the pop would have popped if I used a color for the background. Blue perhaps? I ran out of time so I went with it... Maybe I will make it again.
