Inspired by the Sea ♥

Good Morning, friends!

What a gorgeous weekend at the ocean ~

sand in our toes, salt water breezes, great surf and gorgeous weather :)

And WAY too much food!

I'm truly blessed to live here in South Florida, surrounded by the sea ♥

We did have some unexpected excitement while swimming ~

a shark fin popping out of the water about 30' away. Yikes!

I also managed to slice my foot on something sharp, most likely coral rock.

Now that we're home, my foot is propped up ...

perfect for stamping! 

 Today's card...

I.  love.  this.  card!

It was inspired by the sea and my love of all things nautical ♥

The ocean is my happy place!

The stamp is from The Project Bin Stamps

using the new A Way With Words "Born Yesterday" stamp set.

So many fabulous stamps for birthdays in this set.

It's stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black - but how pretty this would be

stamped in ocean colors or even a beautiful Kraft or Crumb Cake :)

I added a few flower, buttons, some interloped twine

and this card came together beautifully.

 

 Stop on over and see all the new release The Project Bin Stamps,

including the new Christmas stamps to get a jump start on holiday cards.

WAVE-ing to you all and sending

Big hugs, bigger Blessings!

Riley Sneak #5 ~ Plain Bat Crazy!

Hiya!  Only one more sleep til the big blog hop and new stamp release!

I hope you have enjoyed the new Riley and Company sneak peeks this week ~ hilarious as they are!  I confess, I've been struggling with a full plate and a tumultuous and trying week .. but crafting with these Funny Bones sentiments have truly made me smile when I didn't think I had one :) 

Here's another sneak peek at a new FB sentiment paired with an existing super fun Riley ~ Batmoose!   For added creativity, I paired it with kraft and burgandy Valentines papers!  How fun is that!  Quite by accident I stumbled across a recollections paper pad and thought how lovely it would be to play around with different textures of papers and designs - I love working with non-traditional colors and themes :)

Be sure to check out the DT blogs and of course, stop on back for the new stamp release blog hop starting on Jan. 24, Thursday!

For one lucky winner at each stop on the hop, you can chose a stamp of your choice from this fun and funky Retro Girls and Guys stamps or from the 36 new Funny Bones stamps being released.  Wow!
