The Open Sea

What a fun challenge for myself to focus on making masculine cards for 2 weeks. It has been fun and rewarding. Rewarding because I am stocked up for a while, fun because...stamping is fun! This is one that I made using the torn paper blocking. I kept it down to 3 colors...Marina Mist, Night of Navy and Island Indigo.

The Open Sea

Another great masculine card! Wow, I am full of them this month. Must really be missing my man! Actually, by the time this posts we will be toghther again!  Woo Hoo! I am truly blessed to be able to say that He is my best friend and it has been very lonely here without him.

Nacho Average Challenge #11

Playing with the Nacho Average Challenge today! I made a card that is near and dear to my heart...a dream card. My hubby and I have been dreaming of retiring to a sailboat for about 6 years now. We have 6-7 more years before we will be able to fiscally do it but we are working towards that goal. I made a card that I will send to him so we "can stay on course." It never hurts to have a picture of your goals before you.

Dare to Dream!!!

The Open Sea for Father's Day

Ooh, I can hardly wait to get out on the open sea! Yes, I do mean to live and not just a vacation. I guess my whole life would be a vacation, huh! Any way, I love this set with all the nautical images. I had to make this card for my hubby. This is my first side-step card.

The Open Sea

This is the card that my Stampin' club made with me recently. I used The Open Sea and the matching designer paper. It was really simple as I only had a few minutes to put it all together. The colors used are Not Quite Navy, Whisper White and River Rock with a touch of Soft Suede on the ship. The ship stamp was colored in using the markers. I love the little game piece for the compass rose.
