Snorkeling!!!

We had so much fun at the beach with Nick! He and Mark had a grand time snorkeling and on the skim boards. They talked about it so much that Tyler has decided he will start going to the beach with us! Be still my heart!! My hard head wants to go to the beach! It's scary. He's at that age where he doesn't want to be seen with his family. We embarrass him. Check out the picture below.



How could we ever embarrass him? :-)

This was such a fun card to make! I loved glancing back at the picture to try to duplicate color. Probably didn't do a very good job but who cares! It was sooooo much fun! The best thing is that it was so simple.




What do you think? Are they cute or what? Now that I'm looking at it more closely, I think it needs some sand stippled into the background or maybe more water. Hmmmm......
So do you see the subtle change?


See you on Friday!

What a great card! I like how you used the pic for inspiration. The paper tearing is perfect.

I am glad my boys are still little, I am not looking foward to me embarrassing them.

Hey Suz, I think your cards are fantastic, but I really like the stippling on the second card more. It just added a little extra color. Love it!+
