365 Cards - Day 205 - Summer Vacation Masculine Style

Aloha and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday at 365 Cards! Our sponsor this week is Tradefish Designs and I got to use part of the set from "Pass the Sunblock". I went with no embellishments but used a lot of texture with sandpaper for the sand (how appropriate is that?!?) and corkpaper for the sandcastle. The palm tree is paper pieced with a woodgrain paper and just a little fun polka dot paper for the leaves. The background paper is Bo Bunny and the cloud dies are Taylored Expressions. Here's some other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. Anything Goes Challenge Blog - anything goes
2. Catch The Bug Challenge Blog - create a scene
3. Craft Us Crazy - goodbye to summer/school theme
4. Crafty Sentiments - Happy Birthday
5. CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS - let's celebrate
6. Cute Card Thursday - anything goes
7. I Did it Creations Challenge - beach
8. Scrap-Creations - anything goes
9. Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday - birthday

Thanks for stopping by and hope you get a chance to play along!
Aloha,

Wow Kim,

Not only is your card SO FUN, but I don't fathom how you guys manage to tie your cards to so many more challenges and I'm envious! LOL, I am only able to focus on one challenge at a time - hopefully I do that well.

Thanks so much for your visit to my blog and your encouragment, it means a lot.
