I truly enjoyed everyone's take on this challenge! Random.org selected #24 - seastar /Karen C.! Congrats Karen! I'll be purchasing your GC very soon!

Thank you all who participated!!

**********************************************************************

For this month, I found this image on Pinterest



I'm a huge fan of red/white/blue combos, paired with nautical theme items. My hubby was in the U.S. Navy for 8 yrs.

So for this challenge, I want you to use this image to INSPIRE you!  You need to incorporate red, white and blue in your project (other colors are okay). And at least ONE nautical themed item.

Here is my example:



I used all the colors, adding in some grey too. I have an anchor on one of my little circle stickers. These set of pics are really special. DH proudly served the U.S. Navy for 8 yrs (1990-1998) and my SIL surprised him with a homemade Navy print flannel blanket for Christmas in 2012. It was a surprise and as you can tell, he LOVED it!

And now the rules!

1. Please post here with your work
2. All is welcome! Paper, digi, card-making, projects, whatever floats your boat!
3. You may combine with any other March Challenge that allows combining
4. Due March 31st, at 11:59PM
5. One lucky random winner will receive a $5 ACOT gc from me!
6. You may enter this challenge more than once, but please limit yourself to separate THREE entries.
7. BONUS ENTRY if you use the following Sketch N Scrap Sketch:



Hope you have fun with this! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me or post your question to the thread. I don't bite.
