Sweet Life - Beach Theme Layout / Special Announcement!

I received the Best news ever a few days ago.  I was invited to be a Part of the SweetSassyDiva Design Team!!!  I cannot begin to tell you how happy this makes me.  Although I have been scrapbooking for over 12 years, I have never been on any Design Team, unitl recently.  This will make design Team # 3 for me.  So I am super excited.  I have to say Thank You to Bobbi Jo, for this wonderful opportunity!  I know that I will learn so much from all the talented ladies on this DT.  Well lets get this started.  For our first DT project, we were asked to create a "Beach" Theme project.  So this is what I came up with I will list all the supplies I used below.

So there you have it.  I'm kind of proud of this one Layout, simply because I created it under 30 mintues!.  Guess I do work better under pressure.... So here is a list of all the supplies I used in this Layout.

Material used:

gold paint dabber

color core card stock for the back ground

random shells from walmart

pattern paper and strips are from Me & My Big Ideas Low Tide collection

stickers from Me & My Big Ideas Soft Spoken Low Tide Collection

Chipboard stickers from Me & My Big Ideas Low Tide embellishments collection

Charms from Boxer Scrapbook Production- Sun and Sand Charm Mix

Sheer flowers are from Modern Romance Seashell Petals

Scrapping Chics Challenge Blog Project #3

Welcome, to another DT Challenge.  I am so glad to see you here and to be able to share my project with you.  For this third project I made a very simple card, it was fun and very fast. 

Okay, I know a lot of you want more info on how and what i use on my project, so after today, I promise to all my followers that I will list all material and try to have step by step instructions for you.  I just need to remember to write material down and take step by step pics or step up my video camera.  Problem with me is I don't plan my projects, I start with an idea and then work from there, and I change things around like a million times before I say "Okay, I like this".  Then I have no rules, so whatever comes to mind that's what I go with.  It's a kind of CRAZY process but it works for me.  So I hope you all enjoyed this card, just an FYI- the flower is made using coffee filters and a scalloped round punch.

Don't forget to go checkout the rest of the DT's Projects here http://scrappinchicschallenge.blogspot.com.  Thank you, once again for stopping by and for all the wonderful comments.  Love reading them.

If you love the beach as much as I do, then you won't want to miss this one! We have LOTS of blog candy to offer! Please check back daily for your chance to win!
For my final project I was inspired by Emily's profile pic, and thought wouldn't it be a wonderful thing to be able to decorate for a Beach Wedding.  So I made something I thought I would love to see at this type of wedding.  I hope you all enjoy it.

The flowers are handmade, one of my favorite to make.  Really easy to make.  I love all the white on white!  So there you have it!  This has really been a fun week of hopping!!!  So many wonderful projects.  I really hope you enjoyed every day of it.  Thank you so much for coming back day after day.  So as I mention throughout the hop, I do have blog candy, so if you have left a comment on each day and are a follower you will be entered into the drawing.  I do have to let you know this before hand, this giveaway is not sponsored, this is from my personal stash and is only open to US residents.  Also, this is very important.  I have been having a lot of problems with my winners not replying to my email notification regarding the winner.  I know!!! WHAT!!!???  But it is true.  I only  give the winner a week to reply, if no reply is sent, then I pick another winner.  No exceptions.  I also need to remind you to please leave me an email address, if not I will not go looking for you and will pick a different winner.  I hope you all will understand why, I have to put this out.
