{4CCC-88} and a BLOG HOP!!


Hello all!!  Are you ready for another fun challenge from the 4 Crafty Chicks?  Not only do we have a great theme, but we are also looking for some Guest Designers to play along with us over the summer!  This week's challenge is brought to us by Leanne, and she's got an easy one for us - all you have to do is use your favorite embellishment!  Really?  That's all???  Yep!  That's all you have to do!

I haven't been in my craft room as much since I started back to work three days a week so I kind of fell behind with my TCP Tuesday challenges - time to remedy that!  I was able to combine two of last month's challenges for my card - TCP Tuesday 205 was a fabulous sketch  from Leigh and TCP Tuesday 206 was an Inspiration challenge from Jen.  When I first saw the inspiration pictures, I immediately thought of the colors as being very nautical so I took that and went with it. :)


I used an older TCP set, Whale of a Time, as well as my Waves Cut-Ups die to create this fun card:


Okie dokie, peeps - that's it for me today!  Don't forget to check out all the Guest Designer details on the 4 Crafty Chicks blog if you are interested in joining us.  Next stop on our amazing blog hop is TAMIE... off you go!
