DL.ART Thankful Thursday #234 ~ Summer

Hello, everyone and happy Thursday!! It's time for a new Thankful Thursday challenge at DL.ART and the theme is Summer. It's a bittersweet challenge for me, as it's the last one for the design team. I've been with Diana since the beginning of the DT, and I have loved every single minute of showcasing her gorgeous ribbons!! The challenges will continue, with the next being the September Linky. I hope you will continue to play along...I know I will :)

For my cards, I used Pacific Cove papers from Craft Smith. I love the tropical colors!!

The adorable hula girl is from Gina Marie Designs. She was adhered over a Frantic Stamper Oval die, and I used the waves die from Karen Burniston's Tropical Scene die set along the bottom.

The flowers are Sue Wilson Tropical Hibiscus dies. They were layered over Kaiser Craft Tropical Leaves dies, and leaves from Gina Marie Designs Aloha Tropical Drink die set. This gorgeous ribbon is Peach from the Spring Bundle #2.

The tree is a Yvonne Creations die and I added a tropical bird from Spellbinders Plum Blossoms die. It was covered in Gypsy Red and Tangerine glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle. Aloha was stamped on a Elizabeth Craft Stitched Fishtail Banner die. This amazing ribbon is Blue Hue Tail from Mermaid's Tale 2nd Edition.

On the inside, I used Karen Burniston's Palm Tree Pop Up die. Salt Life is from Impression Obsession. It was covered with Mermaid glitter from SNS.

The adorable little crab and...

...sea turtle are from Karen's Sea Animals set.

I covered a My Creative Time Surfboard Die with 2" Tear-ific Tape and then wrapped it with DL.ART Twine.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
2) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday ~ Anything Goes

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to DL.ART to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for this challenge. Then link up your Summer project...or you could always substitute a Thank You card. I can't wait to see what you create!! And I want to sincerely thank Diana for having me on the DT!! Have a great day :)
