V is for Vacation Challenge #356 Week 2

Hello and welcome to week 2 of our V is for Vacation challenge!

We want to see your summer vacation projects.

Cards, scrapbook layouts, any crafty project that says vacation.

Show us your cabins, lakes, oceans, picnics, pool parties, travel...whatever vacation means to you.

Tasha was our featured artist last week and made a fabulous Dutch fold travel card.  She also has a picture tutorial here. 4932 – Pack Your Bags Set

Now let's see what the rest of the Design Team has made to inspire you!
Lynn and Cynthia even made their own designer paper!  So cool!

 First up is Nina and if her card doesn't scream VACATION I don't know what does!

She  used 

4855 Seas The Day (now retired) 

5508 – Travel Accessories (for the bags)

5604 – Halloween Journal Die Set (for the frames)

5543 – Journal Template Die Set (for the banners)

5591 – Journal Rectangle Frames Die Set (for the tab)

Sharon used #5187 Happy Trails Set and #5543 Journal Template Die Set

Lynn used Sailboat Window Set (5448) and Gull-friends Set (5399)

Guest Designer Cynthia used 4932 – Pack Your Bags Set

Janet used #5187 Happy Trails Set just like Sharon but I love how completely different these cards are using the same set!



And lastly,  I used 4981 – Cabin Circlet MTF, 5093 – Dock Circlet MTF, 5448 – Sailboat Window Set, 5734 – Friend Sentiment Set and 5726 – Nested Circle Dies

Merry and Bright Card by Tasha!

Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing a new holiday card created with the 5564 – Mousey Christmas Set! 

This little mouse looks so cute in his Santa outfit as he decorates for the Christmas season. I love his hat and happy smile; he is just adorable!

For the background, I added layers of pattern paper and red glitter card stock. The buffalo-check and red script paper looks similar to layered ribbon; I love the farmhouse look!

Lastly, I stamped "Merry and Bright" with black ink and added yellow ink to give a glow around the mouse. These colors look great together and I can't wait to make more holiday projects with the Ai 5564 – Mousey Christmas Set!

Have a wonderful day!
