Hi everyone!
I can't believe summer is winding down already ~ say it isn't so!
I'm not ready for the new school year,
which starts in just 2 short weeks.
I'm soooo not ready! :(
I'm soooo not ready! :(
We love the outdoors here and when blessed with gorgeous weather,
we make trips to the beach!
we make trips to the beach!
My 'to-make' list from Pinterest has grown,
including creations needing shells - lots and lots of pretty shells!
The tides haven't brought many to the shore lately,
so we ventured out with masks and snorkels to find them -
and did we ever!
I'm super excited to get started on those gifts now ♥
This week's bi-weekly Riley and Company Stamps challenge
is brought to us by Kendra ~ Summer/outdoor sports.
While we don't scuba, we snorkel --
While we don't scuba, we snorkel --
an outdoor activity that we just love!
colored with prismacolor markers and added to a card base
with summery, bright colors ...
such a happy card :)
