Sea Shell Poster inspiration fro KSS Monday
Good Day! I hope everyone had a wonderful Summer weekend…. maybe a chance to get away to the beach, lake or relax by a pool…. maybe even a run through the sprinklers ?
Last Monday, I mentioned I was off to the beach for our family “day after the 4th of July” tradition. Even though it was a foggy day at the beach, we still had a wonderful time and came home taking half of the beach with us in our hair, towels, toys, etc. LOL!
This is where I got my inspiration from for today’s card and from this poster image from AllPosters.com. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great day!
Please check out what the rest of the KS Crew has cooked up for Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday. Happy Stamping!
