Default LSC220 Life's a Beach!

So I am living on the gorgeous island of Crete in the middle of the the ocean and I was thinking...We need to have a beachy theme! I was also thinking Thank God for the time change because I don't have intenet at the house yet and I had to wait for the kids to get up so I couyld go to our old hotel and post todays challenge....so eventhough it's 10:30 AM here it's only 3:30 AM east coast! and that means it's only 12:30 west coast! Yeahhhh for time change! LOL

Anywho here's your challenge...

- you must use ONLY beachy images!
-You must use only one sentiment
-You must use only 1 embelishment!

remember to limit your layers too...but that's just a suggestion! LOL

My Samples:

Surf's Up!

Just Shells

LSC220 Gallery

That's it! Those are the rules! Now lets see What you can do with it!

Great challenge Silvia! Okay...You may think I stretched for my stamps, but believe me, they are what I CONSIDER real beach stamps. I have very fond memories of my EX's father. He always vacationed with me. So, the scene I made was a tribute to him.

Here's Lorenzo's Tribute card

**Waving HI to Silvia**

I am definitely going to play today. Getting the boys off to school first, then I will head for the studio for the first time in days! I feel rusty, but think I can handle this one

Hugs!

Hello everyone, I want to thank Sylvia for making me dream of Crete. Someday...I'll be visiting that magical island I hope. What a fun theme, goes well with my kitchen too.

Here is what it inspired me:

Super challenge Silvia! Here's my Sailing the East Coast

The DP is from K&Co and is called East Coast... it's a great 12 x 12 piece with the whole east coast shoreline and a lighthouse, which I had to cut out... but I fell in love with this paper and thought it was perfect for today's beach theme!

Default Life's a Beach with Punches

I looked at the challenge and knew I had NO stamps that fit this criteria. So I went back to bed. When I woke up, I realized I still had my punches. I am also signed up go to a Michelle Z brayer workshop in Aug, so thought I would try a brayer technique. So between her brayer resource, my punches and my brads, I ended up with a boat, waves, and a school of fish.

Here's a SEVERELY limited Limited Beach.
I took the must use to mean there had to be one embellishment and one sentiment, although I often don't use sentiments. Now there's a surprise.
I had fun thinking about this.
