Summer Fun...PDCC33 51

Hi There! Time sure flies when I'm busy papercrafting - how about you? Thursday already & time for a new challenge at The Play Date Cafe. This week along with The Play Date Cafe DT, Courtney Baker, Owner/Designer of Practicing Creativity Designs will be sponsoring & playing along with this challenge! There is an awesome prize to be had so be sure to visit The Play Date Cafe for complete details :)
This week I had the pleasure of selecting the color combo so I chose this pretty bedding set for inspiration because I had summer fun on my mind & Scott, my DH did the techy stuff & created the graphic ;)

Last week, I was California dreamin' :) That was the reason for the hand stitchin' you may have noticed on a few cards ;) While I was at my home away from home in San Diego, I had to visit my favorite store, Paper Tales :) So much goodness packed into one lil' gorgeous store with customer service that is out of this world! That is where I found the cute jenni bowlin BEACH BINGO card. We didn't hang out on the beach but had a great time sailing in the San Diego Bay & visiting The San Diego Zoo.

From a close up view, you can get a better look at my beach blanket background :)

I have been admiring all the projects out there in Blogosphere, so I thought I would pull out some neglected fabric & put it to good use. All you need is a piece of fabric about 1/2" W & L than you would like the final size to be. Randomly stamp the images.

Then, carefully pull threads from edge, creating a fringed border. Reminds me of when I would turn my favorite jeans into cut offs :) Retro!Here's a better look :)

If you haven't already - give it a try & create your custom stamped fabric! Thanks for looking :)

I hope you can join along with this week's creativity challenge. After you have made your project, please head on over to The Play Date Cafe & link your post. If you post your creations in an on-line gallery, please label it PDCC33 so we won't miss them! Be sure to see what all The Play Date Cafe DT girls have created, (listed on my side bar) as well as our Guest Designer, Courtney Baker.

Be Sweet!
