Go. See. Do.

Summer vacations are almost here! Are you planning a getaway? Our family goes on an annual trip to Carolina Beach each summer and Christopher has been counting down the days for a couple months now! :)

I have a card to share today that's the perfect bon voyage for a trip to the beach.

I used Bella Blvd's hot new collection called Sand and Surf, a sketch from Studio Calico and a new set of dies from Papertrey Ink called Sketched Shapes Dies.

Do you like the card? Does it make you want to head out to the beach or hop aboard a plane for a remote island getaway? I could use a little rest and relaxation on the beach! :)

Have a great day!

Hello!

How was your weekend? I planned to share our photo of Christopher with Santa today, but he decided at the last minute he really didn't want to take one. Sniff sniff. Our boy is growing up. Sniff. He hit another milestone this weekend and stayed home alone for the very first time while Dan and I went on a walk around the neighborhood! It's all so bittersweet. I'm happy to see him gain independence and that Dan and I have more freedom as he gets older, but I miss all the little boy things, like sitting on Santa's lap!

How about a Christmas craft share instead? I created this whimsical card with Doodlebug's adorable North Pole collection.

I used the following Studio Calico sketch for the design. They have the best sketches, don't they?

So I didn't get everything Christmas related handled this weekend like I had hoped. I need to run and get my cards in the mail box. I hope you have a great start to your week!

Before I go I want to congratulate Gregsgirl's Crafty Corner! You won my extra copy of CardMaker magazine! I'll be in touch for your address.
