Beach Babes!

Birthday Card for a Beach Girl!  My girlfriend, Anna, has a bunch of people who call themselves "Beach Bums Society of America" -BBSOA and they get together every nice day in the summer at Pine Point/Old Orchard Beach.  They are crazy for the sun!  I saw this stamp from "Art Impressions" and immediately thought of Anna and her friends at the beach.  Life is a beach for them!

Here is a closer look at this Z fold card with the inserts making the ocean and some fish.  I had the sun which is a sticker in my stash and thought it would be perfect!  The side has a sentiment from Stampin up.  I really love how this card came out!

Thanks for stopping by to check out this card and below is a picture of the back of the card -Beach Rules from Graphic 45, By the Sea!

Love Graphic 45!

CKC Manchester Convention 2011

Heartfelt Creations

Saturday's CKC Convention in Manchester, New Hampshire was so much fun!  I traveled with my sisters, Chris and Connie and friend, Cathy.  Since I love doing both scrapbooking and cardmaking, it was a convention for both.  Heartfelt Creations has got to be my favorite, although, the Outlines booth is a very close second.  Both companies make gorgeous cards. My surprise of the morning was Nestabling from Spellbinders. I can't wait to try out this new bling on a card! The Eyelet Outlet is so cool!  They have almost any image that you can think of.  I bought a nurse's hat with stethoscope since I work in the medical field I have many friends that will find this on their cards.

Going from booth to booth, store to store and being amazed at the products and creativity that there is.  Can't wait to go back next year!
