Post Card--Let's Go to the Beach--PP203

July 6, 2014


I am so excited to be a Guest Designer for the Paper Players!  It is a dream come true!! To be asked to be a  part of this FANTASTIC group is so amazing!!!!  Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to share my love of paper crafting!!!

The theme this week is: "Let's Go To The Beach!"  I love the beach and I thought one day I would live there.  I don't think that is evervgoing to happen, but I can dream about it!  Walking on the beach gives me the most calming, tranquil feeling.

I have a very precious memory of my Mom and Dad.  When they would travel, they would always send me a post card.  So, when I was deciding what to use on my card, this wonderful image when through my mind.  I pulled out my post card stamp and went to work. I hope you enjoy my card!
