Summer Challenge #3- July *UPDATED WITH WINNER*

Welcome to Summer Challenge #3- July!
 I hope you are all having a great time during these lazy,hazy,crazy days of summer. Soaking up the sun,splashing in the water. My family is taking a week-long trip camping by a lake- so lots of sun and water for us this month.
  With that in mind- your challenge for July is to CREATE A PROJECT INSPIRED BY WATER OR SUNSHINE!
  Choose either one! This challenge is very open to interpretation- Just have fun with it! 
  My only requirement is that when I look at your project I want to instantly know what inspired you (water or sunshine)
 Easy,peasey, right??
Here are a few ideas to get the creative juices flowing-
1) A monochromatic project using shades of yellow,shades of blue,or shades of teal.
2) Using the words sunshine or water in your title/sentiment
3) lovely, big splashes or a big, cheery sun on your project!

Can't wait for all of you to fill the thread and gallery with sunshine and water- perfect for July!

Challenge Rules/Prizes * PLEASE READ-Now that I have gotten more comfortable with the challenges/message board,I've decided to change a few things to hopefully let more people participate, and I need to change the due date this month- THANK YOU!*
I am going to enlist my 8-year-old son, Logan, to draw 2 names from his trusty fedora for 2 prizes-
Prize #1- first name drawn- $5 ACOT gc.
Prize #2- second name drawn- RAK from my stash
Due AUGUST 4th! ( I will post the Aug. Summer Challenge early as well- so look for it July 31st)
*layouts,cards,altered items,digital layouts,Project Life spreads, all accepted
*Multiple entries allowed
*No combining please*( I'm going to keep this for this month, just for consistency, BUT I would love some feedback (pros,cons), maybe in the form of PM's, but here is fine too.. because I am considering changing it for next month)*
*I will start a gallery for this challenge...as long as your layout is there or linked to this thread I'll count it. NOTE- Last month the gallery was very glitchy and layouts would be in there one day and gone the next! I'm hoping I didn't miss any of my participants last month, so it may be best to link to the thread. If there are problems this month again, I may forgo the gallery in the future, and just keep a hardcopy list by my PC*
* I saw a thread this morning about PL spreads and challenges but didn't get a chance to respond to the post. For my challenge,if you want to create a Project Life spread I will accept it. I would suggest posting 2 photos, one of the whole spread, and a close up of the card that addresses the challenge. I just started playing with this type of scrapbooking in January- very fun!*

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR NEED ANY HELP WITH MY CHALLENGE, PLEASE SEND ME A PM!
