Just having fun . . .

WOW!  What a busy week I have ahead of me!!  
But before it gets TOO CRAZY, I wanted to quickly share with you a card I made over the weekend.  Recently I won 3 fabulous images from LEJ Designs and this 'lovely lady' is one of them.  The actual name of the stamp is 'Summer Sun Ellen'.  And since their current challenge at LEJ Designs Challenge Blog is fabulous flowers, I decided to play along.   I have paired her with another fun digi (castle) which was a freebie over at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge

Using WORD software, I created a little 'beach scene' ... now that's what I call a SAND CASTLE!!!
I've used prismacolor markers for my coloring with the exception of the sky and I used chalk for that.  The flowers are prima and the greenery was created with a Martha Stewart 'branch' punch.  My background paper is from a DCWV mat stack.
Well like I said ... busy, busy, busy this week so this post will be short & sweet!

Here are a few additional qualifying challenges:
The Crafty Pad #178 - At the Seaside
 Pile It On - Shore Thing
Simply Create Too - Summer/Vacation
Sweet & Sassy - Beach/Sand

Hope you all have a fabulous week and thanks so much for stopping by today.
