Ahoy! This week our cards are for James, an absolutely adorable little boy with tumors in his spine and brain. James just loves pirates, so we'll have a seaworthy tea party this week. Let me steer you in the right direction to find all of the details...arrrrrhh! MMTPT211-Aug 14, 2012 Ahoy Mateys by JustMe427 at Splitcoaststampers
Stamped the image from Little Boys in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. Stamped the senti from Ahoy Matey and punched. The unknown map image was stamped on tan in Soft Suede, distressed with Old Paper and distressing tool and edges curled. (I used lighter weight paper from Mikes to facilitate curling the edges) Mounted all on a card that had been sponged with Pool, Bayou and Caribbean, added the dubloons. Stamped the compass, covered with CE and added the TH game spinner. PT - 10
Thank you so much for looking. Great job with the challenge, Rosalia! Have a peaceful day.

Gotta love this one! It is full of a little boys imagination. Love that wooden boat/barrel they are in. Cute pirates and faithful dog. Fabulous scene that just makes you just feel good. Love this! TFS :0)

Simply gorgeous colouring and the compass is super-special. I'm glad to see one, since I covered mine up with my ship, LOL - definitely losing all sense of direction here!!

So love the way the map is curled up! That salt water, sea shore sand and wind makes for a very weathered treasure map! I hope they find the treasure.....I need lots of coins to pay for hidden cookies that have gone missing! Ooh, Ooh, this rocks....Thanks Marie for always rocking these challenges....What a fun card for James!

Every time I check there are more cards for James - trying to keep up. This is just as sweet as can be...These pirates have it all, map, gold, sturdy ship, map and of course a mascot. Way to go matey.
