Happy Thursday, everyone! We just returned from a nice beachy vacation at the lovely little Delaware town of Lewes (pronounced "Lewis"). I don't think I ever had an August vacation where the weather was as perfect as we had this past week! Just delightful! But I was itching to get back in my craft room and I admit I feel a bit rusty! Dana gave me some pretty papers for my birthday and I decided to use one of them for the FMS sketch this week. Here's the sketch:
And here's my soft feminine take on it:
I diecut a circle and some leaves from the papers, mounting them on a piece of Very Vanilla embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder, then added a little organdy rose that SU had a LONG time ago!! I also added a couple of little glimmer paper swirly diecuts for fun:
The sentiment diecut is from Waffle Flower. I left the inside blank; I'll fill that in when I decide to send it to a friend! Thanks for popping in today!
A couple of pictures from vacation; we ate dinner one evening at the Cape May-Lewes ferry terminal while we watched the ferry go out:
This cool mural greets you as you go into the terminal:
It amazed me how many cars, trucks and RVs they were able to get aboard!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
