Hi and thanks for stopping by! It's a gloomy sort of day in the Chicago area - the weather is really hot and humid and the sky is over cast. After a quick run to the grocery store, and a stop at a local Chinese restaurant for a little take out for lunch - I'm back home. I think I'll stay in until later in the day when it gets a little cooler. The up side of that? I got a little crafty time to make a card for The Card Concept. If you're playing along there's still time - 6 days to go! SO get to it! LOL! The weather has been calling me outside lately - you know.. grab a cold drink - maybe a tall iced tea, a good book, and sit in the shade weather?
What a great photo for inspiration! I love the nautical theme - perfect for a hot summer day! I took a few elements from the photo to add to my design, including the anchor, silver trim, square gift box, circular tag and of course the rope trim. No flowers on this one - a masculine birthday card.

I also love the soft ship behind the sentiment. Honestly, too many elements to catch them all on one look...I have to go back for more!
