Holly had a brilliant idea for the TLC today...In CASE you forgot. She asked us to pick the first card we ever added to our favorites and CASE it. She also wanted us to PM that person to let them know. Isn't that thoughtful?
I favorited this card, Shore Thing Friend by AubrieB, because I liked the way she rolled the paper to form the beach scene. I thought I would try that right away, but that was way back in February of 2007, and I never did. I did have the stamp set but I am ashamed to say that I had never even cut out the set. It was so much fun to stamp with...thanks, Holly! I wouldn't have done it without your challenge.
CASE changes - not much! It's almost a straight copy. I did change some of the colors. I didn't roll down the sand panel. However, I did roll down the ocean and added white Sharpie paint to the crest of the waves. I also changed the sentiment and added some hardware.
I'll send this card to my MIL who has a birthday soon. She loves the beach. TFL!

I love the rolled paper idea too! Great job on casing her card, and the distressing is wonderful!
