CAS-ual Fridays: Splish Splash

Splish splash I was taken a bath...okay...I'll stop singing now (as I likely will sing the wrong words) as my hubby would attest too! But...we do have a super fun challenge at CAS-ual Fridays:  Splish Splash. Make a card inspired by things you might find in the water, ocean, lake, pool, etc.  

Our challenge this week is sponsored by Stop & Scrap!  Wouldn't it be great to get a gift certificate to the store!  Well, play along so that you can!


And here's my splish splash inspired card.  Wouldn't you love to be relaxing at the beach on this fabulous lawn chair?

And here's another splish splash inspired card...my first take on the challenge but I like the one above a bit better.  For this card, I bought some of the fine glitter to add a touch of shimmer.  Jinny makes gorgeous cards with glitter and inspired me to give it a go!  Hope you get a chance to play along with us this week!
