More Hit The Beach & A Challenge…
Did you enter to win? Be sure to see the post below if you want to enter to win some fun new stamps! Winners announced tomorrow along with a new Guest Designer!! 
Happy Saturday everyone! Last night I got together with a bunch of the SCS girls in Arlington to hash out the new catty. There is a ton of really good stuff in there!! In years past there have been sets that have just popped out at me that I “just had to have.” This year there are A LOT of sets that I **REALLY** like, but I can’t say that there was one that absolutely won me over. Thanks so Emily for organizing the lil’ shindig!
Anyhoooooo…
I made a couple cards using the My Favorite Things Hit The Beach set…which is being released tomorrow. The top card uses the new Sky Blue cardstock from SU! I used Fantastix to color in part of the towel in Sky Blue, as well. You gotta check out Fantastix. You can pretty much just make a marker in any color. I thought that they would be more like blender pens, but they are not wet. You just add your ink to them and color. Pretty stinkin’ clever! The second card shown is so much cuter in real life. It’s hard to take a good pic of a white card when your natural light is next to nil. Yes, it’s a simple card, but way cute (well, that’s my opinion…**wink**). The base of the card is on PaperTrey white cardstock. I **LOVE** this cardstock as a base. I do find that it does not take my images as well as the SU! Whisper White, though, so I stamped and colored the image on Whisper White. The sentiment is on the PTI base. This leads me to the challenge I have for you…
Challenge:
Create a card using (and mostly showing) a white card base. When I say “mostly showing” I mean don’t cover all of the white with another sheet (that kinda defeats the whole purpose, ya know?). Be sure to link your project to this post!
Jen, I LOVE the layout on that Hit the Beach card. It is awesome. I think I’ll be trying that one soon!
I didn’t know if we were supposed to use Hit the Beach or not…but here is my attempt:

Sooo quick & sooo coooooool! Love that little beach ‘bowl’!!!

It’s hard to create something with so much white space . . . Here’s my attempt: http://inkingaloud.blogspot.com/2007/07/last-day-at-beach-then-return-to.html
