Wowzers! What an inspiration site - thanks Stef. So much to choose from, so little time.... Here's my inspiration: http://www.fitzandfloyd.com/product/...ape+platter.do
It so reminded me of many days spent at the beach. I picked up these shells over the years, some are from Ft. Myers Beach (FL - DD college softball Spring training), some from Satellite Beach (FL - cousin's wedding) after Hurricane Irene, most from the beach at Pawleys Island, SC, where we spent many summers enjoying the sunshine and sand. The ocean pic if from an ad in my RN magazine. This just spoke faith to me, which I stamped in soft sky after attaching all the shells w/ crystal effects.
I will have to use one of those little boxes that Mothermark, aka Cindy Motherway, uses if I want to send this heavy card.
Thanks for looking. I hope you like my interpertation of the Seascape Platter.

Wow, Karen, you must have finished work this week with no one going down the big M ... otherwise I'm fairly certain your card wouldnt be reflecting memories of good days gone by!!!!
Your shell collection is wonderful and to be able to see God through those is so wonderfully amazing. What a great card this is, my friend.

This is one beautiful shell card. I love shells and those are all so pretty, unique and made with love we all know. So your card adds to the beauty of them and in turn we can have a glimpse of what is in your soul. Pure magic. Thank you so much for sharing this simple yet very telling card.
