Inspired By...Poolside #IB396

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited for this weeks challenge at Inspired By...Blog.  This week it's Poolside Yay!!  There is also a fun Card sketch and and color inspiration. Make a project either inspired by the theme, sketch, or colors. You have less then a week to upload. New Challenge starts every Thursday Winners announced on Sundays.

Let's get started:

I was inspired by the theme Poolside.  I had a few different ideas but when I seen this ephemera from Simple Stories called Sunkissed I thought it was perfect and easy for this weeks challenge.  I used some Lawn Fawn Pattern Paper with the EZ Wonder Die 3 from Not 2 Shabby Shop. 

I took my craft knife and made a slit in the floatie so I could slip the drink in there. Gotta stay hydrated let's hope there is caffeine in there. Oh and can't forget your SPF 50. I had so much fun making this card. All was glued with a tape runner to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

Now It's Your Turn!

Join Me on The Inspired By Blog Every Tuesday for details about my card and challenge.

Here is my Holiday Card using Sketch 45:

I used some Holiday Pattern Paper 12x12 from a older Michaels paper pack.  I cut my papers according to the sketch.  

I also used some Christmas ephemera from Simple Stories from my stash to decorate my card.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and that finishes my card.  I hope you join us, it's really fun and a great way to get ahead on your Christmas card making.
