Life is a Beach....

Hello Ai Fans !!!
It's Crystal here and today I have a little bit of Summer to share with you.I am making my card with the cutest penguins .

When my 7yr old daughter Zoe saw my card she chuckled and said Penguins are suppose to be in the cold , I told her even they need a vacation to the beach for rest and relaxation and she agreed ..lol   I wanted to make them in a Photo fram but I do not have this die so I am going to show you how I created this with what I have , I think it turned out great.

First I cut a rectangle with my stitched die , then I did not have Squre dies ( I thought I did when I started but this did not stop me ) so I cut a square from Gina K card stock ( its very heavy) 2 1/2" by 2 3/4" , i then tack glued to hold it still after I placed it where i wanted this is my patteren I am going to cut around with my xacto knife
this is what you get
next I cut another pc  3 "by 3" and sponged Frayed burlap and tumbled glass to create my beach and water/sky background
add glue to back side and glue square in place
Flip over and this is what you get , next stamp your sentiment
stamp your images and fussy cut them out and pop up on glue dots
inside I left blank but added banners to tie to front of card
and some envelope eye candy ,
tip ** when coloring your envelopes with copics be sure to put a piece of card stock inside so the ink does not bleed thou to back side ..

This is how me and Zoe have been spending the Summer..by the pool catching some rays and relaxing, I hope you try to make your own Photo Frame and create some fun ... Be Sure to come back tomorrow for a new Ai challenge
