I made this card for the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge (sssc63). I’ve always had a hard time with circles. For this one I decided to make create a scene.

When I decided on a beach theme, I wanted a shovel & pail (because my favorite beach memories are making sand castles with my family). Since the PTI set doesn’t have one, I pulled out this set from TAC that I’ve had forever. I did use the PTI set for the sentiment though.

Crazy 4 Challenges is hosting a “Use Kraft” challenge (c4c31), so I did – as my sand and card base.

I was going to make this card for the Embellishment Magazine’s pub call, but I could NOT figure out how to put a button on without it seeming like an afterthought. So I gave up on that idea and will just have to figure something else out (good thing I like working with bright colors!).
