Collections? We have a few. I could not figure out how to depict my collection of Swarovski Crystal or my collection of lead crystal toothpick holders! So I went with our collection of lighthouses. I tried & failed at using the KSS lighthouse, so went with this older SU set. We live in a lighthouse community. In fact, my avatar is the Fairport Harbor Light on a hill above Lake Erie. It is no longer working & is a museum & my DH volunteers there.
For my card, I stamped & colored with prismacolor pencils. I left off a sentiment for now. The image is of the Nova Scotia light.
In the photo is one of the Fairport Lights that's in our collection. That is the view from Lake Erie.
Thanks for stopping by.

This looks terrific, Karen, I really love the soft colouring you did on this fabulous lighthouse scene. I have visited many lighthouses up and down our coastline but one of my favourites is one here in Sydney, at a northern beach called Palm Beach - so worth the climb up to the lighthouse!

I love reading abut everyone's collections. My grandma loved light houses so much that she requested to be buried by one in Michigan. Every time I see a light house I think of her. Wonderful card inspired by your collection.

Wow! You did a beautiful job coloring and framing your Nova Scotia lighthouse - love it! Cool explanation of your collection and the actual lighthouses in your community; sounds like a wonderful and scenic area to live in!

Oh dear another lighthouse collector. I love that you also collect Swarovski crystal. I use only Swarovski crystal beads in my jewelry making. So I know that addiction very well..LOL
