Today we are kicking off the StampNation Summer Beach Vacation event with a Blog Hop. Each of the StampNation Dream Team members, along with some of our crafty friends (including me!), are hopping along sharing cards inspired by our first challenge, "Beach Style," as well as a peek at another favorite projects from the event!
Here's my card for the first challenge:
I'm absolutely smitten with Lawn Fawn's adorable beach-themed Life Is Good stamp set and coordinating dies! Especially the super cute flip-flops! How cute are they paper pieced with some bright polka dot paper?? The towel is a piece of patterned paper (Echo Park Walking On Sunshine 6x6 collection) rolled up and fringed at the end. That's my beach style: sand, surf, and a few colorful accessories!
It's time to hop along now. Make sure you leave comments at each of the blogs listed below to be eligible to win...
Plus...
For each of these prizes, one winner will be randomly drawn from all the blog hop comments. A second winner will be chosen from all the challenge entries at StampNation!
You will have have until 11:59 pm EST on July 27 to leave a comment. Winners will be chosen randomly and will be announced on Monday, July 28th on Catherine's blog.

I love the torn paper beach and your design! I've used fine sandpaper in the past for the beach and the Lawn Fawn die cuts through it perfectly, just cut on the backside of the sandpaper.
