Sailing Boat

Hi,

Gee what gorgeous weather we have had for the last couple of days, which sure makes a change. We are going up to Yorkshire this weekend (as we were unable to go at Easter - due to the snow drifts), we are hoping to take H to 'Eureka' in Halifax and we are meeting up with friends at some point too.

Sorry 'Tilly' it's another boy's card today :-).  The papers i've had about 6 months, so instead of stroking them, i thought it was about time i used them and they are : Maja Design 'Life By The Sea'.  Sentiment - Basic Grey,  Anchor Die is an old 'Sizzlits Die', I've distressed the edges and mesh with Distressed Ink 'Faded Jeans', the buttons, mesh and twine are from my stash.

Today's Card And Challenges :

Here Comes The Boys - where Challenge No: 50 is 'Little Boy Blue (Monochrome)'

Sweet Stampin - where the Challenge is 'Anything But Birthday'

Cupcake Craft - where Challenge No: 240 is 'All At Sea'

Image - LOTV - 'Sailing Boat'

Buttons, Twine And Mesh are all from my stash
