Week 214: BEACH

 

It's time for a new cue word!  Summer will soon be coming to an end in some parts of the world and we'll be wishing for a beach to sit on somewhere, somehow.  Let's give summer a final wave (pun intended) by brainstorming in honor of all those days filled with sun, water, sand and relaxation!

As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:

1. One main image
2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
3. Limited layers & embellishments
4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)
