I think I have broken records this time for being late, then on top of it all, I COMBINED 2 weeks challenges on the bus to one card! The first was to try something I had never gotten around to before - that was the collage - I got this idea after watching Shelly (yo sam) make a card with this set while out visiting Shirley. I stamped the Boardwalk set, masking where it was needed, to get the look I wanted for my BG, then added the girls, the tickets, and the bath house. Next I used this great SAND embossing powder I found in Lancaster last year, and added a bunch of die cut seashells, that I added some sponging to. It looked a little bland, so I added some color to the bath house, the girls, and the tickets with my copics in brown, coral, blue and green. When we were kids, my parents used to take us down to Atlantic City beach in the summertime, so this covers the second challenge with the beach, and swimming and Steel Pier rides. I kind of wish that I had thought to pop up some of these images to make it more interesting, but what is done, is done!!
Thanks for looking - been absent for quite a while - this past month has been busy with a death in our family, so wanting to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts, bless your hearts!

Love, love, love this Sue! What fun images and elements and that sand is really fun. Wish I was at the boardwalk and that bathingsuits like these were still in! Fun stuff. Hugz - lots of them!
