I'm the Sandcastle Stamper! :)

 

One of the fun things to see while visiting in blogland

is to see the creative, wonderful and often witty titles
people have come up with for their blogs ♥

Me?
I'm the Sandcastle Stamper!

 

When I was new to blogging, I knew I wanted to combine my love
of the ocean and playing at the beach with my kids ~
 collecting shells, swimming, surfing, and making sandcastles, of course! :)

My card today reflects a few 'favorites!'
Jeanette is the hostess of this round of card making in the SOTC,
a crafty group of friends over on SCS.
She challenged us to make a card based on her words:

 

 

My theme for September/October is inspired by those very thoughts. The theme?

 

Favorite and Fabulous!

Let me explain:
Favorite = Use one/s of your favorite things on your card. It might be your favorite stamp/image, your favorite embellishment, your favorite color, or any other “favorite” that you choose.

Fabulous = I know we always use at least two layers and one embellishment, but for this time I want you to do something a little extra to make your cards fabulous. It might be simply adding another layer to your card, using a handmade embellishment, creating your own designerpaper,using a unique fold, or any other “fabulous” feature you choose.

 

And here's my card based on that theme -

a Sandcastle with a fancy fold paper card design!

Another favorite:  This gorgeous Sandcastle die-version die was a gift

from my super sweet friend, Carol! ♥

It's so me and I love love LOVE it ~

 Thank you so much! ♥

 

I let the sandcastle die cut be the focal point of the card

and the different scraps of paper, folded into a design,

became the 'unique fabulous fold'.

I hope that's what Jeanette meant and I won't be in the 'sand' doghouse :)

A few little tiny pearls scattered in the dsp finish it off.

 

 

And the inside of my card, of course!

I kept the same design going for the smaller layer and left it blank

so the recipients can write any message they like :)

And that's my contribution to the SOTC cards this month ~

Sandcastle Stampin :)

 

We're out to the park today enjoying this GORGEOUS 60* weather!

Definitely not beach weather but it's still fabulous!

I hope you are enjoying it, too!

 

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
