Like at the lake pier!




Hi friends!

Today's card is a trip to the lake!

By now I've already made it to our last vacation before

our busy family has a return to college 

and a move to a new home!

We are so excited for the big changes happening in our family

and know that God's blessings always surround us :)



For this card, I'm channeling Lake Life!

This is one of my favorite Hero Arts kits (June 2023)

paired with an older stamp set pier at the lake.

It was recently the anniversary of my dad's birthday in heaven.

Not a single day ever ever never goes by that he doesn't cross my mind.

And I channeled him when I was creating this card - in the best way!



I have such fond memories of living in North Florida 

and he took us often to the neighboring lakes to fish, snorkel

and even attempt to water ski behind our boat!

We would often see these exact sunsets as well :)

Using distress oxide inks, I blended a background in sunset-y colors

and stamped out the images fussy cutting some, die cutting others!


I'm SO in love with how this card came out -

much like the memories I hold dear to heart!


Thanks for stopping by!

Lots of love!
