Life's Not Always A Beach...

I had a ball creating these criss-cross cards that I were part of the Just Magnolia blog challenge last week. I haven't entered a challenge there yet but hope to one day soon.

I constructed the cards using vintage Bo Bunny Beachy Keen papers, Cricut diecuts from Life's A Beach, Prima flowers, and ribbon from my stash. The stamps used are Magnolia Tilda in her swimsuit which I colored with Copic markers. The pier stamp is by Art Impressions, #M2731.

Tilda Beach Babies!!

My daughter, sister and I spent all day Sunday lazing on the beach in Rehoboth Beach, DE...a wonderful, quaint, little beach town. Rehoboth Beach has been a family destination since my sister and I moved to Delaware with our family in 1960. In the 1970s my father spent Monday thru Friday in Rehoboth working at a seafood processing facility in town. The plant is long gone and it's hard to imagine there was ever any other industry besides tourism.

Growing up in Delaware has given me an appreciation for the ocean and I often draw and make items like this Tilda card to celebrate that love.
