Good morning to you!
We had a wonderful trip to North Carolina despite the extremely high pollen count!
We checked out two colleges for Ellie–UNC Ashville and UNC Raleigh. She wants to go into animation. Just can’t believe I have a granddarlin’ that will graduate from high school next year and be off to college.
And the other granddarlin’, Amerlia is 14 today. Happy birthday, darlin’!
Here is the second card from last months hostess club I just realized that I didn’t share with you! It was cased from Frenchie’s (France Martin) website and was quick and easy.

TIPS:
- Lightly pull the stamp pad across the card stock using the straight end of the pad (instead of the tray end).
- Don’t worry about white or light spots — you can add more ink or let it be the variations in the sky and sand.
- Each starfish has an arrow on the stamp that is for direction only and will not show up when stamped. Have both stamps facing the same direction.
- Add rhinestones for sparkle.
