I bought a container of sand months ago from Target for about 5 bucks, and I'm finally going to use it!
My girlies wondered what I would do with it.
I joked that if I missed Hawaii too much after getting back...I would pour it in a bowl and squish my toes in it. ;)
I didn't.
This sand is toe free (at least from my toesies). ;)
Funny thing, I could have shook out my shoes after getting back and I would have had the amount I used for this card.
For Free.
Oh well.
That wouldn't have been as classy, I guess. ;)
I love the patterned paper from the Authentique Fresh collection!
It's what's featured in the
Authentique Paper:June Inspiration Color Challenge.
I married this paper with some beautiful Waltzingmouse stamps from Paris Nouveau and French Country to create this anniversary card for my sister-in-law and her husband.
They love the beach.
I am also linking up to the
July 2012 Waltzingmouse Mouse Stamps Blog Party
The Great Outdoors
In case you're wondering what die I used for the
inner greyish panel~ it was shaped with a large Spellbinders Lattice Rectangle die.
I fit a smaller piece just past the line where the rectangle becomes a border.
I think it looks beachy~almost like coral~ with interesting points.
I appreciate your visits so much~thank you for stopping by today friends! ;)
