Life is good.

I am very excited-Summer is officially kicked off this weekend (IMO). One of the things I love about summer is spending time at the shore. We spend a good amount of time in Delaware. My parents have this wonderfully small, hole in the wall of a house. I am not even sure if you could call it that. It’s more of a condo, but less than a condo… but I digress.

Anyway, one of my most favorite things about going to the shore are the little boutiques and shops. One thing I really like are the “surf” type shops. I love that relaxed sorta California type style. I don’t have that. I have that uptight East Coast I just left my desk job kind of style. I need a new style. LOL

This card was inspried by my love of beach side surf establishments. I used the Karen Foster Snap Stamps to create the sentiment, the image is by A Muse. The card stock is by SU! and is in Shimmery White, So Saffron, Real Red, and Cool Caribbean.  The inks are Pallette Hybird Ink in Noir and Real Red. I also used SU! red grosgrain and my Marvy square scallop punch.

I love a good quick card that comes together just so! I had Cuttlebug’d this card a week or two ago. I also had the Fancy Pants Scallop handy too. I used a scrap of pink scrapping paper. Voila! Card. I used Pallette Hybrid Ink in Noir and colored A Muse’s Flower Girl in with SU! WCW crayons.

Enjoy your kick off to summer… I know I plan on eating a few hot dogs and maybe having a beer or two! Be safe!!

In honor of A-Muse-A-Palooza, I challenge you stamp this weekend, just a little something. Post a link to your card here, I will share my favorites! I will also choose someone to win a few of my A Muse card designs!
