Wow.....it feels so good to be back in my craft room!! This is for Lisa's challenge today to be moved by music. I just got home from a lovely vacation where I did something I've wanted to do all my life....but all the necessary elements had never come together. They did this time. I sat on our third floor balcony of our hotel room watching 25 foot ocean waves crash into the lava right beneath me!!! The spray kept hitting me!!! It was honestly a thrill of a lifetime. And while I was watching.....I listened to Strauss with my headphones....truly a dream come true!! I could still hear the waves....believe me....that were crashing so hard they were making the balcony shake....LOL!!
Anyway....I put on Strauss this afternoon and made this card. The ocean with butterflies flying over it.....Hawaii is famous for both.

Jo, I've been gone too, but not on vacation I'm afraid to say, just busy with life. Your vacation sounds awesome and your card is so free flowing and light. I hope to get some cards uploaded soon. Photos finally done, but no upload. Have missed you and everyone on SCS!!!

This is so pretty. I love that gray background. What a wonderful inspiration you had! Glad you're back in the galleries.
I have been trying to talk my husband into selling out and moving to the beach somewhere but he'll never give in to me. I can dream.
