For those of you following my blog, I mentioned earlier this month I was going on a cruise, from September 15-22 I was on a Western Caribbean cruise with five “new old friends” from high school and a new friend I just met. We had a great time and it’s taken a few days to get back into the swing of normal day to day vs. vacation day to day. This was my first cruise and I definitely want to cruise again!
Here is a picture from the last night of the cruise, that’s Earlene, Patty, Joy, our Waiters, me, Cari and Kathy! We had a great time and hope to go on another cruise together again!
The first port call of the cruise was Roatan Honduras, here is a picture from the lobby of the private club we spent the day at, don’t you just love all the different colors of the water!
View in Costa Maya Mexico, the mural and water are just so beautiful!
Here is water from the last port – Cozumel Mexico, the shades of the water are just so relaxing to look at.
Now how about some stamping, today I’m featuring a birthday card made with the Daisy Lane Suite (stamp set & coordinating medium daisy punch). With fall knocking on the door, thought I would Merry Merlot and Cajun Craze on the card. The card base is Soft Suede and has been run through my die cutting machine using the Stylish Scroll Embossing folder (it’s not just for Halloween). As an accent on the left side of the larger Very Vanilla unit I’ve added a narrow piece of Merry Merlot card stock, die cut from the largest Scalloped Square (Layering Squares Dies). The medium size daisy is stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Cajun Craze card stock, punch with the coordinating medium daisy punch, layered with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional and topped with a Gold Faceted Gem. Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set and layered behind a piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope this project has inspired you to try paper crafting. Have a great day – Craft On!
