Hello friends! After catching up on all things home-related this past week after my vacation (laundry, dusting, vacuuming, errands, etc.), I made time yesterday for crafting.
Here's one of the cards:
My inspiration came from these two challenges:

Thanks for dropping by!

Here's one of the cards:
My inspiration came from these two challenges:
- The Craft's Meow August Sketch
- CASE Study - CASE one of the DT's creations - past or present. I chose to CASE my oh-so-talented friend, Andrea Ewen. She made a baby boy card that is SO precious! Andrea used lots of neutrals, but I wanted to incorporate the traditional blues in my version.
The stars and sailboat are from The Craft's Meow's It's A Shore Thing, and the sentiment is from Owl Be Thinking Of You. The Lattice punch peeking out near the bottom of the card was one of the bargains I found on vacation, from TJ Maxx. They had many EK Success punches on sale for $3.99 each (retail $15!). I bought a few. ;)
