OMG Kilwin's! That's the best! Discovered them in Siesta Key and then last year with the grandkids in south Michigan. Thank you for the reminder!

When I used to come home from work, my boyfriend's friends used to say "Can we smell you?". LOL. I smelt like waffle cones and fudge all wrapped up into one. I have to say though, I think I love their lemonade best of all. (I think the name of the rest. is Venezia. Huge portions, great food).

(Cinderelly-I know you mentioned doing water parks. I'll stay away from that aspect. I'll do more of a tourist that would be visiting theme parks. I'm sure we'll have some overlapping items, but not many.).

I'll definitely be adding some brown into the kit. I was wondering if we can add any green leaves to the kit? Not sure I'll need to, but just in case.

Oh, no I have never been to Siesta Key although I have lived in FLA for over 40 years and grew up just outside of Orlando and still live here!! I have family in Naples and that is where I go and have done for over 25 years. I even lived on Marco Island for awhile when starting out in community college many moons ago but came back here to finish my bachelors at UCF and have stayed... been thinking about moving to Naples though. I'm ready to become a beach bum and don't care for the atlantic and beaches like Ormond, Daytona, New Smyrna and Cocoa... they are Too rough. Had enough of this Rat Race around here. Sure has changed a lot but I guess everywhere has. Even Naples has, it used to be a sleepy little Winter "Snow-Bird" destination but now definitely isn't the Ghost Town in the Summer that it used to be!

Don't worry about overlap on themes or whatnot

The more the merrier!! For some reason, every single challenge seems to have just the perfect balance of everything and turns out fabulous!

I just have Summer Fun on my mind!! It has been Summer here for awhile now.... HOT, HUMID and ready to CHILL!

OH, I just noticed we have the same camera! I got mine for my birthday back in April and have not even turned it on

So what do you think about it? I wanted a Nikon but everything seemed so intimidating so I just bought it but.... yeah, I need to start using it and not the camera on my phone!

I think I would like to try this.... do we each pick our own theme? Is it ok to do the same as someone?? and if we are a designer can we later sell our part??

We have collected some resources that you might find useful although I'm not sure how many are tutorials per se. You can find them here: http://mousescrappers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10172

Everyone picks their own theme and you may do the same theme as someone else (because of individual styles they'll turn out different anyway). Anything goes, just stick to the color palette and watch out for copyright/trademark violations. You retain the rights to your submission, so you may sell it if you choose to do so.

Count me in. I've been kicking around ideas and will do something "sea themed" ... probably Ariel-ish.

StacyLynn · 06-23-2013, 07:45 PM

I am doing a beach n sea theme.

momeee · 06-27-2013, 02:11 PM

I made up an alpha, some papers and some brush stamps...that's about as close to designing as I get but I'm trying to stretch a bit each time!

Christina, I know I'm a bit ahead of things (I just wanted to do it now while I had the time!) but I've got mine ready to upload so just let me know when and where!

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else creates!
