Our theme for today's hop is called The Sweet Smells of Summer. Since a good friend of mine has a sailboat, we have had the opportunity to go with them a time or two. Believe me, nothing smells better then ocean air. Sailing is a lot of work, but fun none the less. For my card today, I went with this sailboat image from JustRite available at Sharon's Ribbon Store. I wanted my image to match the colors in the cardstock, then I added some glitter and Liquid Applique every here and there on the water. I think my kids will use this card as their Father's Day Card LOL!
Oh and I wanted to mention that Sharon is having a sale on all JustRite products in stock, yep the entire inventory is 20% off till 8 a.m. Monday, June 14th.
Have fun, and good luck - Linda ;)
