Taking a Vaca with Kraftin' Kimmie!

Happy Saturday, the last Saturday of July!

Goodness, where has the summer gone??  I am starting to sweat over the thought of going back to work, LOL!  I so enjoy my summers off, especially since I love to travel.
Kraftin' Kimmie's Saturday Challenge is all about travel and vacations this week.  I went CAS with my card~


I used the new Sweet Summer Sentiments set; I thought this would make a great card for a guy, specifically my father.  The anchor is popped up on a bit of dimensional and has some Hemptique twine through it.
The sentiment was heat embossed with clear ep and color added with distress inks and water.  I ironed off the embossing once I had the color how I wanted it.
So now it is your turn!  Hop on over to the blog to see all of the wonderful inspiration from my teamies and then link up your creation!
I used this week's CAS(E) This Sketch~


and am also linking up to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge- 'I for Inspiration'.  For this card, the 'i' is for ink and for iron off.
At  AAA Cards, the challenge is 'Waterworld'.
Paper Sweeties has a red, white and blue challenge for July.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and can't wait to see what you create!

Lee Ann  :)

    Lee Ann this card is fantastic! Your inky water background is gorgeous. Love the shades of blue, the large sentiment and the little anchor with the great big splash effect of the red. Thanks so much for linking up and playing with us at AAA Cards.

    Gorgeous background - I love all the shades of blue - they really create the "water world" feel! The die cut anchor is the perfect focal point. Thanks so much for playing along with us at AAA Cards! Jill
