Gina Long (C90 Designs) posted a little memo book on the Graphic45 Facebook Page using the Let it Bee collection, and I just had to make my own. My first is missing, because I forgot to take any photos before I gave it away!!

The first four photos are from the Graphic 45 “Life is a Bowl of Cherries” collection

The next six photos are from the Graphic 45 “Let it Bee” Collection

And these last photos are from Heartfelt Creations “Sea Breeze” or perhaps it was called “A Day at Sea“ (a retired collection, and in fact retired company now 😥)

So I’ve got to do at least one more, and it’s gonna. E a struggle to keep from adding 3-D flowers!!

Escape to the Beach Card

This is one of those times when I saw a card, and made it mine! Meaning that I saw one using the exact same background paper, and the lacy die-cuts, but when I went to decorating it, it took on a life of its own.

Using Heartfelt Creations Sea Breeze Collection, and the Courtyard Elegance die (folded in half, as you see) , I added some fern die cuts, and used the classic rose stamped in light oranges and yellows, and put in some stamens for a different look.

Definitely will do this one again, as it doesn’t quite fold perfectly flat (hot glue leaks through the cut outs behind the flowers anyway!) but I’m definitely tickled with how it turned out!

A More Manly sort of Card

This one is for the men, specifically my so -in-law, who had a BIG birthday last month! He loves kayaking, and he, my daughter, and their seven children went kayaking on his birthday to celebrate, so I thought this theme was only fitting!

There was quite a bit of fussy cutting involved in this and I tried to add dimension to it as well by cutting some elements out 2-3 times and layering each on top of each other, to mimic a chipboard element. There are a couple of cute charms in the corner as well.

This was a very satisfying project, and because it is double sided, has a very sturdy feel to it.
