Happy Retirement John!

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Today is my birthday and we got a snow day

off from school!

Yay me!

While it's snowing here, this guy is thinking about the beach.

My perspective is off on the placement of the hut but I like it.

I used a never released prototype from Art Impressions for my

card. The card was made for my Brother-in-law's retirement.

How fun is this guy?? So cute.

I had to keep the inside simple because I was just finishing the card as we were walking

out the door to go to the party. Talk about last minute. I used 5187 – Happy Trails Set.
Normally, I would have liked to have colored these in, given them some sand etc. but as I said,

last minute.

I brake for Bob's Birthday and Anchors!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Brother-in-Law's birthday card. I have a TON of March birthdays in mine and my husband's family and need to get a jump start. A bunch of them are southern "beach" people so I love nautical cards for them.

I've used the MS97 Full Plate from I Brake for Stamps for my card.

It never expires and can be used over and over again.

All of the die cuts are from Ellen Hutson and pair perfectly with this beautiful sheet of nautical images!

Here's the inside of the card. I didn't stamp a birthday sentiment inside but I figured we could just write it in. Bob lives on Hilton Head Island and this lighthouse reminded me of one we visited when we've gone to see them.

It seems ironic. I don't like the beach due to my fair skin (previous bout with skin cancer) and my fear of things in the ocean. Yet...if you asked me...nautical cards are one of my all time favorite cards to make and ocean creatures are some of my favorite animals on earth. I don't know...go figure.

I Brake for Beaches!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my Father-In-Law's birthday card with you.

He lives in Florida and loves the water so I often make him a nautical themed card.

I've used several images from MS97 Full Plate.

On the front I used the one of the smaller lighthouses because I wanted it to appear that it was in the distance a bit.

I also used the sailboat.

I hand drew in the lines for the sky, water and sand. I used a very thin Marvy marker to make some tufts of sea grass. I also added a couple more stepping stones.

On the inside I used some rocks with sea grass and the bottle with sand. The verse is from Every Day Phrases.

Even though I don't love the beach...I'm very pale so I burn easily...plus I don't like things touching me when I'm swimming. Plus the sand gets everywhere...plus...well, you get the point. In spite of that, Nautical cards are one of my all time FAVORITE cards to make!! I'm going to get tons of use out of this sheet.
