Still Making Waves

Can you believe it's Monday? Wow the weekend went fast! I hope you had fun! We went out for dinner on Saturday, and lunch on Sunday. I baked peanut butter cookies, and did lots of laundry! At least I'm starting the week with my to do list a little shorter.

Today I'm playing along at Cupcake Inspirations where this time they're asking how do you relax! I'll be honest.. my favorite way to relax is making, but sometimes you have to turn it all off and walk away from the computer, the cell phone and the craft room too!

My card today has me thinking of vacation. We usually go to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina once a year. We missed going last year, and this year is out of the question so I'm going to have to dream about it from home.

I tried to create a panel that looked like the waves meeting the sand on the beach. I Distress Ink and splattered a tan piece of white cardstock to look like sand, and used a Sea Foam stencil from Waffle Flower to look like water. I added Glossy Accents and glitter where the torn edges meet.

I stamped a birthday sentiment on the sandy panel from the Beach Days stamps set. I added strip sentiment from the Inquisitive Seagulls stamp set.

A Sea Snail Die N Stencil takes center stage. I added a few pieces of greenery from the Layered Daisy to look like seaweed.

I hope I inspired you to think of your favorite place to relax - Summer is just around the corner!
