Life's a beach!

Today starts a new challenge at the

And the theme this week is Hang on to Summer Fun!

Well I'm such a summer fan that I love this theme. Lucky for me MPS has a bunch of great images in her STORE to use for this challenge.

I choose Olive to work with. I love how she looks and for me this is the ultimate summerfun...

my kids playing with sand on the beach!

The paper I used is so lovely that I wanted to keep the card simple. I found this lovely paper from Imaginisce at my favorite (online)shop to buy: Creabest!

Here is what I made with all these items!

Next to that I had this great cuttingfile from FileKutz by LisaJane with these starfish as a background. I cut them out and used a part of them as a background!
You can find that file lk00137 HERE!

This card is also into the following challenges:
Aly's Sunday Challenge - Use Pink on your card
My time to Craft- Glitter and Glitz (spica and glitter in paper)
Digital Tuesday - 'Cool it' (Beach, tropical, or water scenes)
Pennys Challenges - Pink and Green

Please hurry to the challenge blog and join that great challenge that Team One has prepared for you. Their inspirational cards are magnificent!

Thanks for looking and leaving me a lovely comment!

Wat een super leuke kaart!! Heerlijk zonnig en vrolijk, lukt zeker om op deze manier het zomergevoel nog even lekker vast te houden, zeker nu ook het zonnetje zich eindelijk buiten weer eens wat meer laat zien! Toffe kaart!!
