Holly had a brilliant idea for the TLC today...In CASE you forgot. She asked us to pick the first card we ever added to our favorites and CASE it. She also wanted us to PM that person to let them know. Isn't that thoughtful?
I favorited this card, Shore Thing Friend by AubrieB, because I liked the way she rolled the paper to form the beach scene. I thought I would try that right away, but that was way back in February of 2007, and I never did. I did have the stamp set but I am ashamed to say that I had never even cut out the set. It was so much fun to stamp with...thanks, Holly! I wouldn't have done it without your challenge.
CASE changes - not much! It's almost a straight copy. I did change some of the colors. I didn't roll down the sand panel. However, I did roll down the ocean and added white Sharpie paint to the crest of the waves. I also changed the sentiment and added some hardware.
I'll send this card to my MIL who has a birthday soon. She loves the beach. TFL!

Love, love, love this card!! The curled paper with the white edging truly captures the water coming in and the crab scampering is a fun touch. I don't know if it's the colors in the framing, or the beautiful job of distressing, or the chair on dimensionals but I'm really impressed and thank you for this entry. Of course, I'm putting it in My Favorites! oh, neat seabirds image on the envelope, too.
