Lost Lagoon #1
#ColorCoachJourney
Hi
I've neglected my Color Coach Challenge a little bit and when Catherine Pooler at StampNation said that she was going to launch a Housewarming Party to celebrate her new blog and brand, my mind immediately jumped to this idea for a card.
As you all know, here in my home of Australia, it is summer during Christmas. I recently had a week off up the Sunshine Coast for a little holiday and noticed many of the shops had beach decor which echoed sandy driftwood pieces and lots of blue tones. Very summer. Very beachy!
So when I saw the Color Coach combo for Lost Lagoon of Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Pear Pizzazz, I thought they would combine well on a Christmas Wreath and Lost Lagoon would make a perfect beachside shack door. :)

EDITED: I forgot to add the Whisper White Craft Inkpad to the supplies list below...I used this to swipe over the Lost Lagoon card stock to give it that weathered look. :)
Cheers & Happy Housewarming Catherine!!
