by the shore at gecko galz

happy summer, happy august!  this month at the gecko galz customer challenge blog our theme is "by the shore." link up a seaside creation for the chance to win a gecko galz prize!

i've made a little "twinchie" to get this started -- a 2x2 inch creation...

"summer memories"

supplies: inchie arts twinchie base; gecko galz beachy keen paper pack; gecko galz sunny summer jewels collage sheet; distress ink.

instructions: this was the simplest creation to make.  i covered the twinchie base with the designer paper and distressed the edges.  i fussy cut three images from the collage sheet and adhere them to the base.  i'd intended to do more with this but i looked at it and felt satisfied so i stopped!
