Second, we had 25 entries for Challenge #373 – Visual Prompt – Beach Vibe. You certainly transported us to sunny locales with  your creativity. 

As always, selecting Top Picks is a challenge but a good challenge to have.

Our Top Picks:

Francesca

Francesca's torn paper creates a wonderful illusion of a beach, complete with a trio of starfish to add to the summer vibe scene. So creative.

Urska

Urska's fun fold card opens up to reveal this beautiful view of a beach/ocean. I'm sure many of us would enjoy donning our swim suits and stepping into this scene.

Danika

Danica has created a wonderful beach scene inside her bottle. The embossed waves, the palm tree and twine around the bottle's neck add to the delight and whimsy of this fabulous summer vibes project.
