Let’s Get Shabby~Challenge #7

Getting back in the swing of things. Let’s Get Shabby Challenge beach theme with this:

Here is my layout inspired by this using a beach ball:

I used Anna Griffin papers, distress ink, seashells, Quickutz Exclusive die. Here is a closer look.

I have to tell you a little story about the Quickutz Exclusive die. I teach for Scrappers Cove and when they decided to come up with their first exclusive die, they took suggestions from everyone and I came up with the lighthouse and the design. They submitted it to Quickutz and this was their very first exclusive die. I was so excited they picked mine and they gave me the die as a thank you.

At one of Scrappers Cove Quickutz club party, they asked each member to take a die and change it in something other than it’s original form. So, I took my Lighthouse:

Back of die

I took all these pieces that make up the lighthouse and I made this from all the pieces:

The only piece that is not from the die is the head that I used a circle punch. Pretty cool isn’t it? Every piece is used and in it’s original form. I also, made this from the die:

I had to shape this a little, but I love the look.

Thanks for looking!
