Gathering Seashells By the Sea


I love the beach. Since I live far FAR away from the beach, though, I very rarely get to go there. So I like to go there in my dreams.

This month I also got to go there in my Working Studio, because Vickie sent a gorgeous seashell-themed image to the Mystery Image group for our July cards. THANK YOU Vickie!


Stampendous "Seashell Jar"




I chose subtle papers so as not to overwhelm the softly-colored image.

I. love. the. image!
