Ahoy!

At 1 degree and -15 windchill, I can tell you I am not stepping outside that door today!! So what else to do but hibernate in the craft room. I'm adding this one to by Operation Write Home collection. It has a bit of Navy flair.
I layered the papers all from SU. If you squint and look really close, you can see the lighter grey has white anchors on it.So I went with the nautical theme and stamped on the compass from Tim Holtz and an anchor from the $1.00 bin at Michael's. The Ahoy has lost its label so I can't credit it. Now I see the turquoise piece is on crooked. Darn my astigmatism. I tried fixing it but it is taped down to stay. I guess that is the nature of hand crafted things--not always perfect.
Now you are not going to believe this but I made the card just  before I checked out the new sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch

Great minds huh?

  2. Love your nautical card, Donna! I have a terrible time keeping things straight on my cards, too. I am taking them apart all too often and trying to straighten things out. Like you say - that's the nature of homemade. It's not perfect!
