A stay~cation, arm chair dreaming...it's that time of year when the catalogs arrive by the boatloads...and I simply couldn't resist this photo (ripped from the booklet)
My card was made for two challenges: VSN From Here to There, APR19VSNA berlycece (Kim) advised us to get some advice before traveling. And JBgreendawn (Stacy) suggested we have a look around the Nature Fine Art Photo site to be inspired at the Inspiration Challenge.
I was inspired by Malibu beach pier. Can't you just feel the breeze stirring those palms? I simply cropped the page, fussy cut the tall palm, mounted the image at an angle, stapled, and washered it on cardstock.
And stamped the Napoleon quote...a picture is worth more than a thousand words. This picture makes my heart so happy...cause I can close my eyes and feel the sand under my feet, the warmth of the sun on my shoulders, the sound of the waves lapping the shore and the smell of the beach.
I'd love to hear about your favorite beach...
Thank you for your comments.

I made a beach scene today too! And it features my favorite beach. It's Briggs Beach in RI. We spend every nice day we can get there all summer every summer. It's a magical place. Your picture looks magical too. I love the fussy cut palm tree and the quote is just perfect for it!

Love this, Susan! I love those cattys, too! This looks just like a pier in Hilton Head, SC, where we had a super vacay a good while back. Great recycle/upcycle!
