Lazy Days


Happy Monday - I hope you all had a wonderful week-end. Today is another "magical" Monday with another fabulous image by Nina called "Beached Boat". The DT was asked to make a Gate Fold card with this image, so here is my card. I colored it with my Copics and I happened to have some cute beach-related brads from Taylored Expressions and added them to my finished card. I stamped the "sea oats" on the two panels behind the image from Flourishes "Beauty in Nature." Hope you like it. I know you can't help but like this image by Nina. Be sure to get your FREE digital image this week at the TMITA site here, and while you're there check out what the rest of the DT came up with. They're a talented group.
The tea party was a great success and I'll try to get pics up from that soon. Thanks so much for dropping by.
