In Your Footsteps is the central theme this month for the August Fan Club gallery. The card I made is influenced by Becca Feeken. I travel quite often to her blog, Amazing Paper Grace- http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/ Her creations are so elegant and beautifully done. Not only is her work beautiful, but so is her heart. You will find nothing from her but wonderful inspiration and kind words. Those are a few of the reasons I love 'following in her footsteps'.
If I had seen this frame somewhere else, I would have thought it was a punch around the page by Martha Stewart. Instead, Becca showed how to make a frame with the Morocco Lace border punch by EK Success.
And, another 'happy' thing is I found this punch at T.J. Maxx for $4.99...what a bargain.
Other loves I have are birds, beaches, flowers, snowmen, sheep. What a variety! Just means I have soooo much inspiration.
My card was also made for the Tuesday Throwdown challenge #62. I am using an image from McMahon Five Designs: http://mcmahonfivedesign.com/

You certainly can't go wrong with Becca as inspiration! This is so beautiful, Brenda! Gorgeous embellishments, and I love the scenery you created with the sunset and water!

What a gorgeous summer scene, Brenda! It's always interesting to me to see who inspires other stampers!
