with a recent purchase of one of my favorite UK magazines called
'Simply Homemade'. So I pulled out these fun beach chairs from
that set, did a little coloring with my Copics, added my favorite
baker's twine from The Twinery in Pink Sorbet & Canteloupe
and stamped one of my favorite sentiments and WA-LA !
The fun polka dot paper is by American Crafts and came
from my favorite online papercrafting store, StopandScrap.com

Quick little story . . . the sentiment is one I purchased back in 1995
from a great stamp shop down in Clearwater, FL called Treasure Cay.
It was the summer before we opened our stamp store and I made
the trip down there to do some research on the business.
It's one of the few 'vintage' stamps
{ yes... mid-90's is now vintage }
that I still have in my collection and it's one of my faves.
This week, we are happy to have
back in The Cafe as our sponsor.
We always appreciate their support.
I hope you will make time to play along
with us this week. There is all kinds of
fabulous inspiration from our design team, so come
visit and share in the fun !

I love all the white here and the twine treatment Julie. ;)
Love these beach chair images! I also like what you did with the twine - the Twinery twine is so fabulous, I love this fun treatment!
I just can't believe that 90's are vintage... That makes me feel old, and I'm not even at my 30's...
Anyways, LOVE the card! These beach chairs are so sweet. Everyone should have his red/white stripy beach chair.
