Splish Splash Summer Fun

Happy Friday, everyone!

The temperature in Oregon has finally cooled down, so you know what that means?

Yard work . . lots and lots of yard work.

We've let our yard go since it was too hot to be outside - not mention that there was SO much smoke from fires nearby that it wasn't healthy to breath the air.

This weekend will be spent pulling weeds, cutting down plants & mowing the grass. Of course, after that is done, I will be crafting away.

What are your plans?

Wishful Beach

Instead of doing the usual beach theme, I shared a little wish of mine with this creation.

It's a small view of a beach house. I've always wanted to have my very own beach house. I love the idea of stepping out your door & the big, beautiful ocean is there for enjoying.

Do you have a wish? Does it inspire you to create?

{PIN}spirational Challenge #11: Inspiration Photo - Sea Shells

{ CLICK HERE FOR TUESDAY ALCHEMY'S BLOG HOP }

At {PIN}spirational Challenges, we are inspired by a photo of gorgeous sea shells. And sea shells always remind me of the beach - Duh, right? It's SO time for the beach! It's June, the sun is shining (hopefully!) & the ocean is just calling my name. Here I come sand, surf & sea . . .

The shells are actually necklaces from Kauai. My partner & I both received one from a little shop just for visiting it. I decided to use them in my crafts as I don't wear shell jewelry.

{PIN}spirational Challenge #10: Inspiration Photo - Girls At The Seashore

What better way to spend a sunny day than at the seashore? Yeah, you'll get sand in places you don't want to mention, but it's totally worth it. One of my favorite things is to feel sand between my toes, smell the fresh ocean air, listening to the crashing waves & view the beauty that is the sea.

At {PIN}spirational Challenges, we are inspired by a photo of two girls playing at the seashore. This made me think of getting to the beach. Before you actually see the ocean, you often see a sign pointing you in the right direction. That is what my whimsical creation is all about.

The sign's post was made using a real twig from my backyard.

Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #17: Sand, Surf & Sea

It's World Ocean Day on June 8th! At Tuesday Alchemy this week, we decided to celebrate all week long by challenging ourselves and you to create ANY craft that is inspired by the sand, surf & sea. Want to join this celebration or just learn more about World Ocean Day? Fantastic! Click here.

My favorite color combination (at least for the moment) is red with light blue, so I used just that on this creation. The white card is covered in rows of small crabs. The center is swirl-embossed cardstock with layers of burlap on top. I painted, glittered & sealed a chipboard flourish before embellishing it with red satin ribbon. The final detail: an oval mirror with "Love" printed on it.
