blog candy to offer! Please check back daily for your chance to win!
Now on to The Queen's Project for Today

Now The Queen has had this cricut cart
"Pack Your Bags" for quite sometime now
and never used it ... well hold onto your
swim shorts because The Queen will be showcasing it
all this week for the awesome blog hop...
Grab your sunscreen and favorite beach chair and enjoy...
For my first card I used the sand castle
because what Queen doesn't like a castle...

The Queen inked around the edges using

Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Vintage Photo

{really who doesn't love the effect}

The Queen used mounting foam tape

to raise the whole project off the

blue background paper

The card base was cut using

Lacy Labels it just perfect for welding

card shapes together...

I also cut out blue card base and used

blue stamping up ink Ballet Blue

I used a new stamp I got from

Lauren over at 40:31 Creations

 now this stamp

was taken from the New Baby Set...

Which just goes to show you that sentiment

stamp can be used anywhere...

Love my stamps... Now what hop

would not be complete with out some

awesome blog candy...so The Queen will be giving away

another set of awesome stamps from

Peachy Keen
