Have you seen the new Banners for You stamp set and framelits? This is the first card that I have created with the bundle. It think I am really going to be using it often.
From Land to Sea is a wonderful stamp set for creating masculine cards. It is appealing for anyone that loves the sea (that would be me! I love to go to the Oregon coast).
The candy dots that I used on this card are now retired, but a great substitute is the Subtle Enamel Shapes (Marina Mist mini circles).
I'm working on the photos from a couple of years ago when my grandson visited the west coast for the first time. This scrapbook page shows the first time that he set his little feet in the sand. Right now Stampin' up! doesn't have any nautical, beach themed Designer Series Papers that I could put this page together with so I had to be creative.
I used the swirl stamp from Everything Eleanor to get some splashy waves and I used two stamp sets to decorate the punched circles; The Open Sea and From Land to Sea.
