Merethe | Michele |Nancy |  Paula | Rocky | Rosi 
Shawna | Shirley | Sue N. | Susan 

And here are my makes:

My card features Summer Days from Digistamps 4 Joy, coloured with a variety of markers and cut out with a stitched die. I added a little paper tape along the bottom (from Paperchase)
The white card base is matted and layered with LCDesigns papers and the sentiment is from Stampin Up. Finally I added the shell and fish beads.
And an ATC using Scrapndipity's Jewel of the Sea
I used a die from the Tonic ATC Collection to cut the base and then added my image, This was printed over a photographed background that I had made using Distress Oxides. I added colour to the mermaid using a variety of Zig pens including sparkle on the top - not sure if this comes across in the photos...finally I added gems.
Happy hopping!

    Love this.
    Great shading of the water.
    The little nymph is cut and
    the blue dots on the side
    are great.
    thanks for sharing.

    I love all these chairs in the background! Really a beautiful card that breathes summer! Your ATC looks great too - the little mermaid was certainly not easy to color!
