Happy Summer

Hello everyone! We are getting back to our new schedule for the challenges at Peachy Keen. We are now going to have 1 challenge a month, so you have more time to play! There will be a sketch AND Inspiration Picture to choose from. You can use any or all if you wish. 

Here is the sketch and inspiration picture for this month's challenge

 

I chose to work with the inspiration picture. I LOVE summer and am trying to hold onto it as long as possible! LOL!

Here is what I created 

I stamped the umbrella, sand pail, and shovel using the PKSC-18 June 2013 SOTM set. This is one of my fav stamp sets, it's so fun!

I paper pieced all of the images and then stamped the faces with the NEW Christmas In July Face Assortment stamps! YUP! They're NOT just for Christmas! They sure are cute on these!

I created a background using the inspiration picture and added glittery sand to the sand bucket, the bottom, and top edge of the brown. I stamped the sentiment onto a banner that I cut by hand and added some twine to the bottom. 

I hope you all will play along in the challenge and thanks for visiting!

Have a great day!
