I made three of these this afternoon to send to my sisters to start our official countdown for our 15th annual Cape Hatteras family vacation. We rent a huge beach house and we four girls, along with all the brother-out-laws, go spend a wonderful time together honoring our parents, and reminiscing about all the wonderful times they provided for us at Cape Hatteras. They took us there every year of our lives for camping, fishing, and swimming. We had such wonderful times. We have lost our parents and no longer have our family home to go home to. Our Hatteras family reunion is our guarantee for all of us to be under the same roof together at least once a year since we live in four different states.
I used a scruffy brush to create the sand and ocean. I used liquid applique to make the ocean foam by applying it with a small paint brush. I sketched out the little book and cut it out to lay on the arm of the chair. We always love to pretend we are reading while out at the beach...but truthfully, we hardly stop talking and laughing long enough to get in to many pages.
I hope you don't mind the family story that accompanies this card.

Thanks for sharing your memories. My parents have a home on the water and we love to get together there as well. I love this card and your style. Keep posting. Thanks, Jennifer
