AHOY..

 Hello everyone,

Friday here while writing this post and off dog sitting my grandpups tonight, kids are off to a concert or something out of town so I'm in charge, my son is at home for his weekend off and looking after his girl Holly..

So thought I would pop on now and share a nautical project..


I started with my box of nautical stuff..
This box makes me so happy and always inspires..


One of my many envelopes of papers and bits,
 I picked one, and stayed with one..


Covered a base and made a tag..


Then a frame and the sea and a striped sky..


Layered this one up..


added my moss, a new favourite  from Temu..


a starfish, and some wooden oars or paddles..whichever works.


the boat is also a wooden one, they have none of these left which
is disappointing ass I would have re filled my box..


A bit more moss here and there and 
gold half round pearls for the studs..


A simple sentiment of " Have a great day "
to finish off..

and there you go..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll try see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Wonderful creative card design Chrissy, I have two small bags of the moss from Temu, just not got round to using yet and the way the temps in my craft room have dropped, its not likely till Spring, haha.
Have a good time puppy sitting, sure Holly is in her element, my granddaughters cat Luna is like this with my youngest son, she becomes quite a little 'tart', hahaha. xx

It's like looking out to sea through a porthole Chrissy, I think it's quite a rough day looking at that sea and the colours of the sky, hope there's an experienced sailor at the helm of the sailing boat!
It's a fabulous card Chrissy, love the design, the die cuts and dimension.

WOW fabulous nautical card Chrissy, love the porthole and all the embellishments-enjoy your pup sitting and Holly will have her favourite person all to herself lol -my Millie was my cat but was all for John -sat in the shed and greenhouse with him- no loyalty to the person who feeds them lol.
