RRCB230 Set Sail

 Happy rainy Wednesday, peeps! I have another nautical card for you today using a really, really old stamp for the Retro Rubber challenge! Here's their theme

It also uses the FMS sketch:

And here we go:

This card turned out nothing like I imagined it would.  First, I wanted to use gingham, so I printed out some computer-generated gingham, and I thought it would match Azure Afternoon, but I really wanted to use Misty Moonlight.  In hindsight, perhaps the Azure would have matched better.  The stamped image of the sailboat from Set Sail (2004) was larger than I thought so it went over the edge of the panel.  Grrr.  

The sentiment from Special Events (2022) was also larger than I thought, but by this time, I wasn't going to do it over, it is what it is! At least I liked the little rope trim, LOL!

This will go in my masculine birthday card stash---I never seem to have enough!  Thanks for visiting today!

Big day yesterday--Cassidy got her braces off! Now a retainer!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

FF0135 It's Your Day

Happy Thursday, peeps!  This will be short and sweet as my allergies are ROARING and I am miserable! Luckily, I have another masculine card from my recent stamp camp and it fits the challenge at Festive Friday:

I've got blue, brads, masculine, and sports on my sailboat card:

I used lots of oldie-but-goodie items for this card; the sailboat images are from a 2006 set called Set Sail; the sentiment is from the recently-retired Many Mates.  

I stamped the images in Blueberry Bushel and added a star and tag in Real Red.  The brads are adhesive, which make for easy placement.  I did emboss the front of the card with the Stitched With Whimsy die to give it some wavy "motion".  This is a great color and I am happy it returned!

Thanks for visiting today! 

When we were at Cassidy's school earlier this week, Dana told me they have a little fish pond right in the entryway!

In addition to the goldfish, they have a turtle...and her name is Michelle (Miss-Shell....get it?)  How fascinating!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
