One Last Summer Vacation


I hope you're enjoying or will try to fit in one more vacation/staycation before school begins! We just got back from a week at the Washington beach, and it was SO relaxing!

We didn't find any surfers of the shore in Washington, but this Whisper Friend surfer will work great as a stand in for our vacation photos. {wink}


Pink Your Life artist, Nicoletta Zanella (youtube), created beach theme stamps for the Stampendous April 2017 Catalog that are SO adorable! I picked out this Whisper Friend Surfer to go in my design team box a while back and this card made it into the catalog!

If you want to create this card idea scroll to the bottom of the post for supplies and instructions, or you can stop off at the Stampendous website and print out a project page!

    Great colors. We live fairly close to the beach and our oldest son did a lot of surfing. Those were some great days. Soon our beaches will be empty with school starting soon. Love your card. [Bunny]

The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster.

And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
