Beach time and Cards

 

About a week ago Jim surprised me with a trip to St George Island.  It was a beautiful day and the drive along the coast is always lovely.  Our first stop was Blue Parrot Restaurant where we shared a grilled seafood platter....no leftovers as everything was delicious and just enough for the two of us.  A couple of cold Modelos and a beautiful view.  We also went to the State Park and walked the beach and I collected a few shells.  All to soon it was time to drive home

The weather this time of year is perfect for us and we can sit outside and enjoy the temperature and breezes.  We don't do that home because we only have one outdoor chair! 

Now having said all that about the perfect weather, it changed.  Not so much cold but we had at least 36 hours of dreary, rainy weather.  Even today it' was overcast and gloomy.  

Wednesday we did head out for lunch with Sonsearae at el Jalisco.  We all like Mexican food!  Jim had a draft Modelo.   As with all Mexican restaurants the servings were generous and I brought some of my lunch home.  Afterwards Jim went home and Sonsearae and I went to Publix to kill time before our pedicures.  Always a pleasure to spend time with Sonsearae

These cards were made with a OSW from Jessica Taylor. The paper is not Stampin’ Up! I like the template as it makes various sizes of cards

Inspired by Lorraine Tierney. Stamp, ink and paper (sip). Pick your colors, I chose Cajun Craze and Pear Pizazz.  

Card base is Pear Pizazz 8 1/2 x  5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. 

The layer of Cajun Craze is 4 x 5 1/4. 

Stamp the image two or three times across the basic white 3 3/4 x 5. 

Use ribbon or twine on the left or across the bottom. Any sentiment will work

Using retired product while I wait for new! Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry cardstock. Rustic Harvest DSP

Fun Stamper Journey Kit from my stash

Rustic Harvest DSP, retired. This layout is easy to recreate, the main paper is 3 x 5 1/4 adhered to the right. You’ll need a one inch strip that coordinates on the left and down the center 

I used a strip of contrasting DSP but a ribbon could easily be used

All is right in our world
