Flourishes Timeless Tuesday!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

How was your weekend??? Ours was uneventful and very relaxing...love those kinda days...LOL!!!

How about playing along in our new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC82??? It is the end of the month and we are happy to introduce you to our challenge host!!!! It is Traci Major and she is  challenging us to a theme of *Summer Memories*!!! With summer quickly drawing to a close, Traci wants us to reflect on one of our summer activities and create a card capturing one of our favorite memories of Summer 2010! How fun it that??? Hope you will come and play with us :) !!!

Here is my take on it......





I immediately thought of our times at the beach!!! My girls and I just love to hang out and and enjoy every minute we have at the beach!!! If you are interested in some of our summer photos ~ click here.

Of course I had to use the beautiful Flourishes Beach Life Set. Unfortunately my coloring skills are not good enough to capture the beauty of the ocean/beach!!! So I decided to participate in this weeks TPE82 ~ Mostly White Challenge....after all these images speak for themselves :).  I matched the beach images up with several different Flourishes sentiments from the ~ Chairs for You,  Friendly Reminders and Sweet Violets Sets. Of course I HAD to add some Silver Pearls for a little more pizazz :) !!!

Now it's time to check out ~ Barbara, Betty, Cindy, Dee, Maki and Traci's  take on the challenge!!!

Thank you for stopping by today...I'll be back tomorrow with another fun project!!! Hugs ~S~

Liebe Silke,
