     It's my day to post over at Exploring Cricut! This week's challenge posted yesterday so if you haven't played along go ahead and join in on the fun. Today is the last day of 2013 can you believe how fast it has gone by. A lot of things happened this year and a lot of money was spent in my craft room, its time to put all theses goodies to use. Don't you think so? Today I have my first Valentine's Day card for this upcoming
February 14th, I hope you enjoy and as always comments are always welcomed!

Challenge Yourself Monday

Hi Everyone!  Brenda here with Challenge Yourself Monday.  I've decided to use a beach theme for the challenge today.  Here is the 2 page layout I created.

First Page

Second Page

All cardstock is Bazzill.  I used A Child's Year for the beach umbrella (cut at a height of 3 1/2 inches), Simply Charmed for the title Life's A Beach (cut at a height of 3 1/2 inches) and Life's a Beach to cut the pails (I used my Gypsy to weld 3 of the borders together, cut at a height of 2 3/4 inches).  Here is a shot of my Gypsy screen.

I had fun making this layout.  What will you come up with for the beach theme?
