The first Krafty Girl's Challenge is to create a project that represents where you are from/live. Maryland is known for their crabs from the Chesapeake Bay so I decided to put these cute crabs on my card! The ironic thing is I've lived in Maryland my whole life and have never eaten a crab before because I don't like seafood! I made it a beach scene because me and my family love to go to the beach at Ocean City, MD! The crabs, sun, and sandcastle are all from Create a Critter. The bucket and shovel are from the H2O cartridge. I also used a white and black Gelly Roll Pen to stitch around the sandcastle and the card base. I hope you like it!
Now how about some blog candy! I will be giving away a 6x6 pack of My Mind's Eye double-sided paper and a 3-pack of Stickles which includes the colors Lavender, Star Dust, and Cotton Candy! All you have to do to be eligible to win is be a follower of my blog and leave a comment on this post. I will announce the winner on Friday, Febuary 17, 2012! :)
The next stop is the talented Maribel from I Love Scrapping!
Thank you for hopping along with us and have a great day! :)
Love your card.

My sweet friend, I am so sorry for this delayed comment. I saw this fantastic project shortly after you posted, but then a million things happened and I didn't comment. It is marvelous, as is the unique theme! I love the cute little crabs and how each one is holding part of the sentiment.. and of course the entire beachy scene is beautiful. Thank you for the smile, Karen! I hope you're enjoying your new fabulous team! :o)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings!

Hooray for Maryland! I have lived here all my life too but I eat crabs, lots and lots of crabs because I live on the Chesapeake Bay and we keep a crab pot in the water all summer long!
ReplyDeleteI just found the Krafty Girls site, is it too late to enter a card? Today is Tuesday, Feb 21st.
