Beach Chair

Hi,hope you have had a good week.Today's post goes with our weather really well. This card appeals to me as we are off on our family holiday in a couple of weeks and we always do activity hols,skiing,golfing,sailing...I love doing all these things but when my husband asked what I fancied this year,my reply was 'a beach holiday'!
So lucky me,we are hotel based but with lots of day boats to sail and watersports facilities.(Don't do 'doing nothing' very well,so this is great!)
I thought the sentiment went really well with the card as I know sometimes I need to slow down and just 'appreciate what is'.
This is to show the dimension.Click on any picture to enlarge.

I just liked the way the sun was coming through the aperture on this one!

I am entering this in Cricut Cardz challenge#73 - beach theme.

  1. Having seen the card in the flesh, I love the way the background has yachts showing and the clever way the beach chair seems to be standing on the beach, and not attached to the card. Then when you look closely, you see how clever the design is. I love it.

  5. This is lovely, Jayne! I love the way the umbrella extends from the card - and the adirondack in the window with the blue behind is just a perfect beach look! Super sentiment, too!
