This lighthouse set is the first stamping set that I owned. I love it but don't use it enough. Thanks Cindy for the push to get the dust off of it and used.
Today we are going to Peggy's Cove to the lighthouse. I have never been there, so of course I had to google it and read up. I learned a lot this am. I like the folk story that says it was named after a sole survior of a ship that sank. Her name was Margaret, but was called Peggy. It is my fear of ships sinking... think the Titantic... that will keep my feet on solid ground. That and the fact that I never learned how to swim. So I will be tending the nets and watching what has been already caught so something doesn't happen to our fish.
But while I am waiting for those on the boats, I was thinking of going to the little teashop and having a bowl of clam chowder with a piece of fresh baked bread with lots of butter, and what ever the dessert of the day is. Anyone else want to join me?
This card was made possible by Krischir. A couple of weeks ago, she sent me a RAK. She gave me the die cut shape and she also gave me a piece of screen. I used that screen to make my fishing net. Thanks Kris.
My sand dollar was stamped on handmade paper.

Your boat doesn't look very sea worthy. So, I think I'll just join you for that bowl of soup and fresh bread. Geesh, you made me hungry!!! Your image here is simply lovely MariLynn. Super job coloring it. See you soon! TFS :0)

Oh my goodness, Marilynn, you have been up all night and still made this gorgeous and I do mean gorgeous card. Over the top coloring and shading going on here. I would love to join you for some clam chowder...one of my favorites. Hopefully, I will arrive soon. Been a long trip from California. You would be surprised to hear how much I sold my bicycle for when I told them it was ridden in the Tour de France race.....I just didn't tell them it was on the sidewalk. See you soon!!!! tfs.

Look at your magnificent coloring and shading on this beautiful seaside card! I love it, MariLynn! That's okay that you don't want to be on the boat; I wouldn't either if I couldn't swim. I'll join you for some tasty soup and fresh bread, too. I'm really burned out on fish, though. I'll take cream of potato, please. I'll bring some m&ms for our dessert, too.

Well, I can see we not only have to catch 42,000 pounds of fish we also have to teach you how to swim! There will be no finger sandwiches and tea until you have caught your fair share of fishies! Suck it up! Ships sink - hmmmmmmm sounds fishy to me!
Your card is beautiful! Wow! I just love that image!

Oh you did WONDERS with your die cut and screen! What a perfect day to use them! Your coloring is perfection, MariLynn! And I'll meet you at the cafe, and we'll have a Boston Cream Doughnut because that makes me think of the Boston Tea Party, the Mother of all Tea Parties...we better tell Mothermark to book us a trip there sooooon!
