A Condo by the Sea

Photo Details

Poster: Broom

I'm really late for TeaPot Tuesday, but whew... I finally made it. This week our cards are for Robin, who recently lost her husband in a freak accident. Robin dreams of one day having a condo by the beach, and this is how I picture her front yard. No grass to mow, and nothing but the sound of the waves rolling on to the shore. What you can't see is Robin's yellow rose bushes and her prized yellow Mustang parked alongside them.

Oh my goodness! What an awesome card Hilda girl! I love this....and your description of the rose bushes and car in the drive way....paints a pretty awesome picture of Robin's future! I love the sparkle to this....the waves breaking on the shore....I can just smell the salt in the air and feel the sand between my toes! I just have to rinse my feel off before I to back into my stamp room! Ha!

No worries about being late...just spreads the cards out for the recipient...sorta cool! Your card is just wonderful!

Your sparkly blue embossing is a wonderful setting for that tranquil, restful beach scene. Wish I was there!
