BBTB2 - Beach Hut

Good Morning Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend.

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and our lovely Caroline has chosen a beach theme this week.

What a fab challenge as we are enjoying a heatwave in the UK! A summer at last...haven't seen much of one for the last couple of years! We have beach huts at most of our seaside resorts and that was my inspiration for this project.

I used Sweet Tooth Boxes for the hut cut at 8".

I made some alterations such as adding an opening door and curtains.

I scored lines and sanded back to create sun bleached wood.

The surfboard was cut at 2.5",flip flops at 1" both from Life's a Beach.

I took this photo in a bunker at the golf course!

I rolled card to create legs and added floorboards inside!

I am really pleased how this turned out and looks suitably summery in my conservatory!

Fire up your cricuts and come and play in the sand and do check out my DT sisters .... you won't be disappointed.

Just For You

Hi,hope your week is off to a great start. Today is a new challenge over at Celebrate the Occasion and the theme is to make a circle shaped card for any occasion. Here is what I came up with...

The card is cut at 5.25" from Wild Card and the flower is cut at 5" from Life's a Beach. All layers are embossed,sanded and inked. I curled the petal edges and raised the centres on 3d foam to add dimension.

Do come on over and check out the fabulous projects by the rest of the design team and don't forget to add your project too.

Thanks for stopping by. Sorry for so few posts lately,just very busy with the holidays. I truly believe it's important to make the most of these times as children grow up so fast and life's so busy ,it's great to kick back and have fun.

Hugs,Jayne x

Beach Chair

Hi,hope you have had a good week.Today's post goes with our weather really well. This card appeals to me as we are off on our family holiday in a couple of weeks and we always do activity hols,skiing,golfing,sailing...I love doing all these things but when my husband asked what I fancied this year,my reply was 'a beach holiday'!
So lucky me,we are hotel based but with lots of day boats to sail and watersports facilities.(Don't do 'doing nothing' very well,so this is great!)
