Nautical Expedition

This is the end of the nautical look cards for awhile.  It is easier for me to make a bunch of cards with the same set and papers since I make so many.  I just get out what I need and change the format of the papers.  That is why you see so many of the same set grouped together.

The Open Sea

The name of this Stampin'Up stamp set is the open sea.  It is in the summer mini and is available only through August 31.  I guess l also like it so much since I live near the sea.

Nautical Cards

Get ready to see a few more cards made with this ship and designer paper.  I like the navy blue and cherry cobbler paper together and the various strings that I used on the cards instead of ribbon.  They are nice masculine cards.

August Birthdays

Happy birthday to our BIL John.  He liked his birthdate so much that his daughter Heather was born on the same day.  Their birthdays are a little later this month, but I need to post these things when I remember them.

Flowers, Again?

Those few of you who look at my blog must be thinking, is she ever going to make anything else. I guess I was just on a big flower kick.  I am working on some other projects right now that have flowers on some of them but totally different than anything you have seen in the past month.

Summertime

Besides flowers, when I think of summer, I think of a cold Pina Colada at the beach.  It sure is hot right now at the beach and we at least haven't been having the three digit heat.  We have had rain to cool us some too.

Purse Full of Cards

This is another style of a purse that holds four cards.  The cards are shown below the purse.  There is one bday, get well, thank you, and thinking of you card in the paper purse.  The colors are nice and bright IRL.

Tissue Paper Flowers

The flower on this card is made with tissue paper.  In real life, they puff up real nice.  The flowers were cut using my Big Shot and a Sizzix Stampin' Up die.
