I needed a card for my boss (I only work limited hours now days doing payroll and bookkeeping at a small law office) and he loves the ocean and, in fact, lived on a sailboat for many a year awhile back. I thought about the seashells the wonderful Stamp Muse (Miss "M") sent me and thought I could incorporated it into this sketch since she sent me large sand dollars and small shells that could work very well with this. She even sent me some twine which worked out perfectly. Thanks "M"!!! You're the best! Take a look at Stamp Muse's card using shells and twine:
Thanks so much for dropping by for a look at my newest ocean addition and if you have a chance, drop me a line and let me know what you think!! Have a GREAT week and good luck to everyone on the MMSC6 challenge!!!

So stunning, Pam. It's so articulate and well defined. How wonderful of Divine Ms M to share these wonderful things with you. I just know you've done her proud. She'll be so elated to see what you've done with your RAK. BTW, she's traveling this week, so if you dont see her comment, not too worry. She'll see it when she returns I'm sure. This is so wonderfully masculine, Pam. I love it.

I think your boss will want to give you raise and increase your hours after getting this card! It's gorgeous!!! Great job using the shells and the twine is a perfect accent. Love the stips of paper on the sides and in the corner. You'll have to let us know how he liked it.

WOW! Love it! The sand dollar is a wonderful focal point and those wee little shells are the perfect embellies! Now, if your boss doesn't exclaim endlessly about how fabulous your card is, tell him you're going to slip it off his desk when he's not looking and regift it to someone who will... Pretty fine work for someone who claims she struggles with 'guy' cards...

Pam, this is the best! Just absolutely love it and every detail is outstanding. Love the colors, seashells, great embossing folder...so fantastic!!! I see you have been busy and I will get back to view and comment on all your cards soon. I am getting ready to leave for the beach.
