New Challenge.. Codeword: BLUE

Hi everybody :-)

July is over, now its time for a new challenge. This time its very easy, and the challenge is:

Blue Sky, blue water, blue animals, blue flowers.... what you like. But blue has to be the focus on your project.
And the best thing: We're also giving away Guest Designer Spots for upcoming challenges!

For a little inspiration, Christine and I made some cards for you.

First Christines cards:
On her first card she used the snail from "Lovely Critters" and the heart dies from the POcket Tag to create a "blated birthday" card. The sentiment say "oops, too late" and "i forgot..."

Christine's second card is a winter card.  The cute snowman from Cool Buddies loves a cool blue. The ice-blue alphabet stickers create a sentiment which is completed on the inside. It says "cool is... to call you my friend."

But the cool blues also work for summer, just as well as they work for cool wintery cards. On her third card Christine used the Jellyfish from Glowing Seaside and a sentiment from "just because" to create this bright card:

And this is my card. This koalabear from our newest release crosses the (BLUE) ocean to see you again ;-)

Now it's time for YOU to play along in that challenge.
