As I was deciding on a card for a summer challenge, I found the not yet put away adirondack chair and umbrella dies from Gina K Designs still on my desk and figured it was time to use them. I located an old photo from my two children playing in the sand and surf at the Jersey Shore. That photo became my background. After prepping that photo on a piece of cardstock, I added a clear presentation cover page to my focal page after adding the striped and solid strips. A top folding card base was also added to complete my card with the addition of a sun die cut and a GKD sentiment and shell border. I will be eventually be sending this to one of kids to see how observant they are.
My card today will be shared with:

Cute card! So fun to find the photo of your children that you were able to use in a card.
Thanks, Lisa, I was happy that it worked out even if I do have a lot of layers going on with this card.
What a delightful summer card and how fun to use an actual photo of your children playing at the beach. Looks like a winner to me.
What a fabulous card with great memories, great it is going to one of the kids that I am sure will treasure it!!
