FF179 Sailing Home


Happy Sunday, peeps!  A quick post today using the sketch from Fab Friday for a masculine birthday card:

I used the Sailing Home stamp set with matching Smooth Sailing dies and a sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings; lots of sponging with Soft Suede ink (maybe a bit too much) and I used the Come Sail Away DSP on which to stamp everything:


I created a frame from some retired Woodgrain DSP, and also made another little banner to go behind the sentiment with the same Woodgrain paper:



A few sailboats and a sentiment on the inside and this will be in the mail tomorrow!  Thanks for popping in today!

My SIL were bird-nerd talking yesterday and she told me she saw a yellow-bellied sapsucker on her tree recently! Imagine my surprise when I looked out the window this morning as I was getting my coffee and saw this:



As you can see, it was only about 20 degrees and everything was quite frosty...but he didn't mind!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

    I'm not one bit surprised about your sighting, LeAnne! Look at the wonderful treat you have for him!! We have a little red-bellied sleeping-over in one of the houses we have a camera in - so cute to see her all snuggled in!
    I love the masculine touch to your birthday card, and your wonderful neutral palette!

    A perfect masculine birthday card, LeAnne! Love that nautical theme! Your yellow bellied visitor is a treasure with his fluffy feathers! I've never seen one of these beauties. Thanks for sharing.
