simon says... by the sea

Hi, friends! Time for another challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog! PLEASE NOTE: the challenge blog now has a new name, new look, AND a new home...

may I introduce, 

the NEW Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

You can click either the badge or my link above to get to the new blog. Please be sure to update your bookmarks and blog readers! Email subscribers, your addresses have been saved and transferred over, so you're already good to go. Go check it out! We love our new home, and we know you will, too.  :)

And now, back to the challenge!

This week's theme is the trendy By The Sea. Anything nautical! Here's a lovely inspiration board provided by the ever-fab Joy Taylor to help get those creative juices flowin':

The DT all used products from Fancy Pants on our creations, so if you have any Fancy Pants in your stash, we'd sure love to see you use it, too! But of course, it's not required to be able to participate in the challenge. Anyway, here's my card:

I used the adorable DOWN BY THE SHORE 6x6 paper pad. All of the papers you see here - with the exception of the white card stock - are from that pad. Such perfect colors and cute patterns! The sentiment is from these Kelly Purkey alphabet stickers RIGHT HERE, and though I very rarely use it, this card definitely warranted a bit of twine... THIS ONE would be fab for those nautical-themed cards! :)

So now it's your turn... upload your By The Sea creations to the NEW challenge blog, found RIGHT HERE. As always, please have your project uploaded no later than 8am EST US so you can be eligible for the random gift voucher drawing!

And please stop by the new blog HERE to see what my fellow teamies have done for this challenge, and leave them some love as well. :) xo

That's it for me today. Thank you so much for your supportive comments regarding my mom. They are appreciated more than you know. ♥ See you soon... :)
