Let's get started !!
Continuing with my plan to create cards other than the standard A2 card, today I am bringing you a Criss Cross card.   I used some patterned paper that's been in my drawer for several years on this card.

Here is the panel tucked inside the "envelope."   I added a couple of K & Company stickers "under the sea."  You can put a plain white panel on the back for a hand-written message -- telling everyone what a great time you're having at the beach!


The stamped image and sentiment are from the stamp set Oh, Crab.

 Be sure to check out all the cards created by the Design Team members today.  And comment often for more chances to win a free stamp set.

Enjoy the Hop. Come back each day and let us take you to the Beach. We hope to inspire you to start your own Fun in the Sun.  Get to work on the tutorials, show us what you made by Feb. 12th and check back on Feb. 13, 2016, to see if you are a winner.
