SEIZEW THE BIRTHDAY ~ SUMMER ACTIVITIES

Hi friends, so good to see you here!
Today we have a new SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE!
A summer activity card is requested by Barbara as our theme for this challenge.


I didn't have to think to hard to come up with what I would like to do for a summer activity.
I really only live a little more than an hour from the Pacific Ocean, but I don't seem to be able to get over there very often these last few years.
However, when my girls were younger we vacationed there annually and I have so many wonderful memories from the beach.
Today, I suppose I can now picture myself sitting in those chairs, people watching, bird watching and  going for walks along the water's edge.
And now that I also have a one year old grandson, I suppose I can see myself making sand castles and chasing a little one around in the sand!
 
I hope you will take some time to make a card and share your favorite summer activities!
You are always welcome to make any kind of BIRTHDAY CARD TOO! 

Now check out the design team and our special party guest for more fun summer activities!

 
 


Heart Hugs, friends!

I’m so glad you didn’t have to think hard to come up with this card for my theme of summer activities. You were thinking the same way I was. How relaxing to just sit on the beach soak up the sun and enjoy the view. Great card Colleen.

This is my kind of summer activity, Col! Nothing better than sitting and watching the waves roll in!

What a great summer scene you created, Colleen! I am ten minutes from the beach and we still don't go as often as we should. It is just so crowded all the time and of course, now it's too hot. I sound like such a grump. LOL Your water and sand look amazing!

Wonderful beachside scene, love the added footprints too! It's very chilly here today, so wish I was there too! Cathy x

Now that’s one fabulous summer activity! Beautiful beach scene. My nearest Pacific Ocean beach is only a half hour walk away, and yet I haven’t been there for more than half a decade. 😂

That's the life Col. Sitting on a sandy beach watching the waves roll in. :) Awwww ... I can smell the ocean right now. :) xx

I remember having great times at the beach during my childhood summer holidays as well. Love the little scene in your card. The water and sand look amazing.

The beach is definitely my favourite place and you captured it so well in this card. Great colours on this fun scene. Hope you get to the beach soon!
