Wow, this fits three challenges, MMTPT146 - beach, SC333 - Sketch, and TLC325 - paper buttons. I was so happy to see the beach theme since I had purchased this whimsical Rubbernecker lighthouse at last weekend's stamp convention and was excited to color it up. The sketch was perfect for adding three paper buttons which were made by stamping my shell and cutting out 4 extra layers for each button in pale blue paper and gluing them all together. Oooh, tomorrow I should make a dragonfly button, sorry, I'm already on to the next project!! All right, back to the task at hand, this week's tea party destination is to Anthony who was in a bad accident and has a long road to recovery so I need an appropriate scripture to go inside, any ideas? Let me know, I'm very excited to hear your ideas!!

WOW!!! I love this "spirit lifter" of a card!! The shell buttons you made are super, the rickrack for the waves is perfect, and the bright cheerful sun shining down on the lighthouse and all is a wonderful "spirit lifter"!!
