Seaside Memories…

Good evening, everyone!

Just a quick Sunday evening post…have to finish packing for my next adventure!

I’ll be off to the mountains early in the morning for our big camping trip…won’t be home till next Saturday night…no technology…yikes!

Even though I’m all geared toward camping right now, I had the ocean on my mind yesterday, and made a couple of vintagely beachy cards…

The sunlight wasn’t cooperating with me today…kind of a gloomy day and I don’t love my photos…couldn’t get the colors right!  Oh well, sometimes that’s just the way it goes!  They really look so much better than the pictures are showing…sorry!

The image is from Crafty Secrets’ “Summertime” Images & Journal Notes booklet…love the soft, vintage colors…

Lots of chunky clear glass glitter around the image meant to look like sand, platinum Stickles all around, lovely aqua seam binding & lace, plenty of vintage mother-of-pearl buttons, and that’s about it!

Another image from the “Summertime” booklet…such a sweet one!  “The voice of the sea speaks to the soul”…I love that thought…

More lace, and soft seam binding, some lovely sea shells and platinum Stickles…a bit of Dazzling Diamonds on the water just for a little sparkle…

The stamped sentiments on both cards are from Crafty Secrets’ “Mermaids” stamp set.

Before I go, I wanted to share with you a few of the new Crafty Secrets stamp sets that are being released at CHA this coming week, and will be available to order soon…I LOVE them all!
