Hi again everyone. Let me start off by wishing everyone a Happy summer or Happy winter (depending on your location) since the solstice has just passed a couple of days ago.
Today we start a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday. As it was the summer solstice for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere this past Sunday, our challenge theme is Here Comes Summer.
I used a Gelli printed background as the base of my page. I added some background stamping, as well as some washi tape, a couple of stamped images from an old beach themed set from Oxford Impressions, some stamped quotes, and a stamped and colored sun.
I picked an ocean theme because for many summer means a trip or several trips to the beach. Or maybe even a summer vacation/holiday stay.
We accept all types of art at Try It on Tuesday , and you have the next 2 weeks to join us. If you're looking for some great ideas, check out all the pieces from the other members of the design team too. They are some really creative ladies.
Thanks also to those of you who joined our masculine challenge also.
I'm looking forward to seeing what summer means to everyone.
I just saw on Mia's blog the Craftlandia challenge is the sea, so I am also going to link my page up there also.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I love your sun, she looks very glamorous with her rosy cheeks and stylised rays. Your whole page looks very summery and jolly with the shells dancing over it and the lady dressed for the sun. Nice use of washi tape too.
A very nice summer page :)
