I'm kinda excited about this weeks challenge! I had lots of ideas and no time. (Busy busy with ball and important stuff like going to the pool! hehe!) ;) SO when I put my first card together, I was happy it worked! This week we are supposed to use something "clear"...vellum, acetate etc. So here is my card using a little vellum...
...and sand! That's right! I figured if glitter would work, then sand should too, right? I added 3 strips of half inch score tape and then went out to the sand box! B kept saying, "Mommy why are you putting sand on your paper?" lol. I added the vellum wrapped sentiment and some flip flops...love these new dies!!
So that is it for today! Here is this weeks challenge badge...

HaHa! The "soap box" has become the "sand box"! Very cute and in my faves!
My luck I'd find something else in my sandbox! LOL I can't wait til my little flip flop dies come in! Love the addition of the tiny hearts on them!
This is too clever, Laurie :) Love it!
This is so amazing. Why did I never think to get real sand. I live in a beach town, for goodness sake. I've probably got a pile in the garage now with all the sand pails and shells. Super cute use of those flip flops, too.
I can't believe that's real sand! Too COOL, Laurie! Perfect palette for the card, too . . . summery and patriotic and happy! :-)
Oh my goodness. Seriously love this...the red, white, blue and sand :) are awesome together. I think I need a pair of the striped flip flops :)!

That sand is so cool! Clean white card on both sides of it - amazing. Love when a card comes out right the first time, yeah!
Another ADORABLE card! Love the sand! I'm not sure if you've already posted about this on your blog, but I would LOVE to know more about your lighting/photography set-up for your cards. It's consistently stunning. Thanks!
Going to copy the whole stinking thing cuz I adore it so much, remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
You are brilliant girl! Love the sand. We just took down our pool and there is a little sand left on the ground from the filter. I'm bagging that stuff up and saving it..haha.
