This is my summer-themed card for Monday's Clean & Simple challenge. I can't wait to head for the beach when summer finally gets here! The stamps are digital stamps from Treehouse Stamps.

This has so many elements that are perfect together. The distressed edges, the twine, the embossing all remind me of a quiet beach that has been battered by ocean winds - everything is a little bit ragged and sun-bleached. But then you added the fun of the sand castle. it's a perfect card!

I love how you put all the elements together and how they compliment the theme. Nice job.

What a great design - and I love that sentiment - it is so true for me - I used to live at the beach in the summers when I was little - some of the happiest times of my life!
