12 Designers, 12 Amazing Projects, 5 Winners!

One thing that I really miss about living in California is not having access to the ocean.  There are lots of other things that I miss about California, but  there is just something magical about enjoying the sand and surf.  When I was young I would wear my teeny bathing suit, and do all kinds of wild and crazy things that I wouldn’t be caught dead doing now…namely wearing a teeny bathing suit…lol

My projects today both highlight Spellbinders Shapeabilities –Limited Edition Surf’s Up!  These limited edition dies are only available until May 30th and then they are gone.

My projects are like a before and after view of my beach esperiences.  Young me, the “before” portion, has a great time at the beach, loves to surf – spend hours in the sun, a big smile on my face.

The sentiment is stamped on cork and the sun is stamped with gold baubles adhered to each flair.  Inside the sun is a 1/2” circle punched from cardstock and topped with a Making Memories page pebble.

And for the “after” portion of this post…I don’t have the gray hair yet, and I hope I don’t have that many rolls of back fat, but I have long since traded in my teeny bathing suit for the one piece and opted for a hat, sunscreen and a beach umbrella rather than spending long hours baking in the sun. Sand in place I’d rather not mention now just makes me grumpy.  I still enjoy the beach, but just in a different way than in my younger day.

I created the surf by tearing strips of vellum cardstock and rolled some of the edges down.  The sandy beach was created by tearing pieces of Sahara Sand cardstock and inking the top edges.
