Blue Skies Are Here With Von Marie!

 Hello everyone.  Von Marie here and I’m so excited for this weeks challenge. This week it’s Poolside Yay!!  There is also a fun Card sketch and and color inspiration. Make a project either inspired by the theme, sketch, or colors. You have less then a week to upload. New Challenge starts every Thursday and Winners announced on Sundays.

Let’s Get Started:


I was inspired by the theme Poolside.  I had a few different ideas but when I seen this ephemera in my stash from Simple Stories called Sunkissed, I thought it was perfect and easy for this weeks challenge.  I also used some Lawn Fawn Pattern Paper and used it with this fun EZ Wonder Die #3 from the Not 2 Shabby Shop. 

I took my craft knife and made a slit in the floatie so I could slip the drink in there. Gotta stay hydrated let’s hope there is caffeine in there. LOL. Oh and can’t forget your SPF 50. I had so much fun making this card. All was glued with liquid glue to a side folding A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Now It’s Your Turn! Upload to the Thursday Post on the Blog. Also share in our FB Group!
