more than all the fishes in the sea

Did everyone have a fun weekend?  Our weekend was great.  The weather was pretty nice except for the downpour Saturday afternoon.  But we just stayed in the trailer and played cards so it was still fun.  We spent time each day riding and picnicking.  All in all a very good weekend.  I didn't get the chance to schedule more than the one post while we were gone so I have a few cards ready to share this week while I work on some sneak peeks for the Papertrey Ink release and the High Hopes release (hoping my stamps come tomorrow so I can get started).  Both companies have some fabulous releases coming up!!


Last week, I pulled out this set from Our Craft Lounge called Bubbles.  I just love the cute little turtles in this set!  I colored the image with copic markers and paired it with some My Mind's Eye Tres Jolie patterned paper, Pacific Point cardstock, some orange buttons, and some American Crafts ribbon.


I also added some dimensional glaze to the turtle's shell and the rocks on the ocean floor.  I am off to tuck the little ones into bed.

Have a great week!

Niki
