At the Beach

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Lexi's Creations and the theme for this challenge is:

AT THE BEACH

I would like to say very topical but for everyone in the UK its the last place we want to be in this weather!  Maybe if we all made a nice beach card it would shame Mr Sunshine into showing his face - worth a try?
Here is the card I have made:


I don't think the rain will bother this beauty - she's already got the fins to deal with it lol!  The digi is by Lexi and called Melody she is available to purchase at Fairy Dust Crafts.  I have coloured Melody with my Copics and added Mermaid Stickles.  The papers are by Nitwits from the From The Sea Too Collection.  The beautiful lace was part of the candy I won from the beautiful Alessandra (big thank you again).  The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with Spellbinders Nesties.  I have cut, embossed and matted the image using Nesties.  The seahorse and starfish are cut using a Cuttlebug die, the corner from a Whimsy die and gems and shells from my stash.  I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday for my layout. I would like to enter the following challenges:

Sketch Saturday - Sketch
Always Crafting - Mermaids and Fairies

So why don't you pop over to Lexi's Creations and see what my talented team mates have come up with?  This week our sponsors are:


I'd like to give a big welcome to my latest follower Hanna and thank you Hanna its always thrilling to see a new follower!!  On a final note I must admit I was slightly relieved about the outcome of the match last night!  Only because I have tickets to see Starlight Express in Manchester on Thursday and my husband looked decidedly ill when I reminded him we wouldn't be home to see the semi finals!! That got me out of that tricky situation lol!  Thanks so much for looking I really appreciate it and take care xx

  26. You are going to have to borrow Miss Mermaids flipper! Good grief! You poor thing!

    It's getting up in temps here, and is suppose to be in the 100's (f) this weekend! After a wet spring, my son is enjoying the outdoors, but soon it will be too hot be in it. My grass is going to be brown brown brown!
