Surfer Hut and card....

Anyone for Anya has a challenge this week: HOT HOT HOT ! So for me it is all about having a hot hot summer, which means to the beach we go! I used this adorable Surfer Emma to make this little card to go with my hut! I thought this little hut would be kind of cute if you were having a pool party and wanted to give them away to the guests with some sort of candy inside! I actually placed some jube jubes inside a baggie and tied it with a tag....which says Surf's Up!




I used Kraft Cardstock to make my hut and then a thicker tissue paper to make the top part of the hut. For the bottom portion of the hut I took chalk and made lines to just give it a little more texture! My poles are from some graduation decorations I am using. I just cut some bamboo sticks to fit the height I needed to place the roof on top! My signs are just printed from the computer and then cut to look like old drift wood signs. The surfboard is just cut from Surfer Emma to lean against the hut!

I hope you are having a great day. Thank-you so much for coming and taking the time to visit. It is so appreciated!
