This is for the TSC0729 challenge. We were to think of the ocean and make a card. As I ponder all of the times I have been to the ocean or the shore, I remember with such melancholy the times when my boys were little and would make sand castles. I just love this sweet SU! image.
What do you think?

Kookzi, you sent me thinking of those days, too. Kind of makes a heart ache for those days to return. Very sweet indeed!

Oooooh love this...I was thinking about using this set for my FS CASE, and I may well still because of how happy and peaceful the images are. I have to say that I don't mind a bit when my guys still make a sandcastle or two when we go down the shore...I think that is something every mother treasures in her heart. Lovely card Lesley

What great memories and that image is wonderful. I wish sometimes we could go back into the past and just really experience and appreciate those times - they just fly by so fast. I remember holding my youngest while she was sleeping against me and tryin to push that whole memory into my brain. I said to myself - there will be a time when I will want to pull this memory out and enjoy it because she will grow up and not let me do it anymore - truer words were never spoken. Sweet card!!!!
