Hello there! Today I am playing along with the Shaping Up Challenge organized by the amazing Gallery Idol 2012 girls. I wanted to participate with all my heart but I don't have one of those electric wonder machines that cut any shape you can imagine (saving up for a Cameo, maybe this Christmas...). Soooo... what to do? And suddenly, the cartoonish lightbulb appeared :D
A nautical beach towel!!! It's a shaped card, right? And it coordinates perfectly with JJ's cute tote bag, ha!
I used PTI's Distressed Stripes for the towel, and the sentiment is a mix and match (happy from Enjoy the Ride, summer from Wreath for all Seasons). The die cut flip flops were stamped with Polka Dots Basics II but it doesn't show in the pic. Oh, and I used one of the banners from Banner Builder to stamp a pattern on the little hearts. The fringe border die is a must have from Memory Box.
I am also entering this summer babe in the Paper Crafts July Gallery Challenge.
Thanks for visiting!

Love, love this towel shaped card, Lorena! Both you and JJ's cards reminds me how fresh and stylish red/white/blue can be!

Just so cute and so creative! I love how you did the fringe! Just the right detail! The striped stamps work perfectly! If we went to the beach together, we'd totally be matching:)
Thanks so much for linking up to our blog hop Lorena!
