Beachy Gift Set

A little Beachy Gift Set.
It is always so hard to come up with summer birthday ideas.
Teens love gift cards but it is so impersonal.
So, how about decorating a little beach bucket and slip your gift card inside.
It gives the gift card a much more WOW factor, don't you think?

This little beach gal is by Crissy Armstrong - this is the last week for her design team call at Sundays with Crissy. Check it out - there are lots of lovely cards and projects.

The Creative Details:
Image:Crissy Armstrong (find this image at Whimsy Stamps)
Sentiment: Inkadinkado
Colors: sand, cool shadow, smoky blue, blush, sepia, burnt umber, cool grey
Embellishments: dotted grosgrain ribbon, starfish and fish stickers, diamond stickles
Techniques: Paper piecing, scalloped border punch

The Challenges:
Bearly Mine (tags)
Bunny Zoe (Fun in the sun)
Catered Crop (follow the recipe)
Clear it Out (anything goes)
Craft us Crazy (anthing goes)
Hotspot (vacation spot - beach)
Pink Elephant (fun in the sun)
