Oceanfront Meets Sailing Home And Waves Of The Ocean Designer Paper

 Hi Friends!

Today I have a card for you that is makes my heart sing!

I paired the Sailing Home stamp set an coordinating Smooth Sailing dies with the Oceanfront stamp set for a beautiful ocean scene card.

We used to own sailboats, and I miss sailing so much. But it was not to be once we got busy with life and could not spend as much time sailing as we used to. Boats deteriorate very quickly when they just sit. So we made the heartbreaking decision to sell our beloved Maraya. The people we sold her to were going to enjoy it every bit as much as we did.

Here's a picture of Maraya. I can smell the ocean and close my eyes and feel the gentle rocking of the boat. Yes I do miss her, a lot. But time has moved on and we now have Grand Children that we want to spend time with.

Here's the recipe to recreate my card as shown above:

Night of Navy 11 x 4-1/4

Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (x 2 pieces)

                     2-1/4 x 4 (bits and birds)
