Happy (late) Saturday, everyone! I finally got my chores done today and had some time to stamp...lots of fun challenges out there this week! I chose the FMS sketch, the Color Throwdown colors and the beach theme from As You See It:
I pulled out a bunch of different dies, cardstock and stamps and this is what I came up with:
I have always loved just walking along the beach, looking for shells! When I was in about fourth grade, my grandmother brought me back from Florida a little shadowbox with a clear lid; inside were adhered several different shells, with their names underneath. I was mesmerized by those shells and took them to many "Show & Tell" days at school! They've long since disappeared but I remember them fondly! Anyway, I diecut some shells, starfish, sand dollars and a seahorse from Smoky Slate, Blushing Bride and Soft Sky cardstocks for my little collage. Each one was stamped with a texture-type stamp to give it a little more interest, and sponged around the edges. I used the bubbles and seaweed from Sea Turtles along with a sentiment from Papertrey, and I added some pastel sequins as well.
A woman in the activities area in the retirement community where Dana works is retiring, and since they've had me there twice to do some stamping activities, I thought I'd send her a card! I actually got to use the retirement stamp from Gone Fishing, too:
Fun card and fun sketch! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
