Cruisin'

This set of dies that I used for my card below has been waiting for months until there was a reason to use it...and now at Time Out Challenges #315 we have a summery Pick Two theme for you! This red, white, black and gold ship has set sail and I have a wonderful friend closeby who books cruises for our neighborhood, so this is a special card for her. The words for our Pick Two are: Vacation, Summer, Water, Camping, Sun, Ice cream. I chose Vacation, Water and Sun. You must use at least TWO words from the list and if they are not obvious, please explain. 

Our wonderful sponsor, Newton's Nook Designs, is generously offering a $25 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We are joined by Sherri Schmidt, winner of Time Out #310, as Guest Designer. Sherri is a talented card maker and a frequent player at Time Out. She posts her work on Flickr as Sherrisonline. Even if you are not a Flickr member, you can still view her gallery. Sherri's designs are fun and her style is eclectic. Do treat yourself to a stroll through her gallery for some great inspiration. 

What I used:

• Spellbinders Deckside Dreams die set, Build a Summer Birdhouse die (anchor)
• The Greetery Postage die
• Gold card stock
• Vellum (smoke)

Come play along with your summer stash and be sure to visit the team's and Sherri's blogs for all the details about their fun cards! We also enjoy reading about yours, too.

Thanks for stopping in,

Carol
