Fascination

So the last couple weeks, I have just been fascinated with light houses. Every time one of my fellow bloggers post a light house card I just sit and stare with awe.  Now you talented ladies do many and delightful cards, so why light houses?  I have been watching an HGTV series called "Sara's House".  She is redoing her island cottage. (Everyone's got one right?) Everything is nautical and just out of this world. Then I remembered this stamp I had from Cornish Heritage Farms.  I bought before I got into Copics, and hadn't had it out for a couple of years.  I hate to toot my own horn... But I actually thought outside the box (a little).


I think I will give this to Hubby for Father's day.  He never goes near the computer, so I am safe.

Both image and sentiment are from Cornish Heritage Farms.  The paper was purchased at Michaels in their clearance bin.  I also purchased the striped embossed card from Michaels.

I made one dud, which will never be posted, and this one I a quite pleased with. I think I would like to vacation in Maine sometime so I am entering this in crazy4challenges C4C89 - Favorite vacation spot or activity.

Have a great week.

Gail, what a great card, love the coastal scene and how the angle is done. Definitely thinking out of the box! I didn't know this company had gone out of business what a shame they did have some great stamps. We were thinking of major downsizing with the Tumbleweed, it will be a great guest house though! TFS
