Sketch #337 High Tide, Above the Clouds, Lighthouse, Stampin Up Great Impressions

 Well, here we have a card I made for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Once again, so many ideas, but nothing was going as planned.  So start fresh, and that folks is what this card is.

   

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up: High Tide

Stampin Up:  Above the Clouds

Stamping Up:  Lighthouse 

Great Impressions G305

I did a bit of coloring and then sponged on some clouds to help fill in the white space and make it look more ideal for the flying seagulls by the lighthouse.  I like the depth of color in the water.  Also, I used some lovely "rope"  to go with the whole theme of my card.  I even had to look up on youtube how to tie a sailors knot so I could add that to my banner.    This was a super easy video to follow.  I think it turned out fabulous.

Next I'll share a few of the little projects I've been working on, so I can add it to my etsy shop  I'm having a sale until the end of October.  I was told I should raise my prices and not have any shipping and handling.  Well ironically I did just that and I haven't had a sale since then.  I'm hoping my 10% off sale this month will help.   I need to clear out some of my items.  

And lastly I finally cleaned up my work station so I could share some pictures of my craft room.   I will have to update that in my bar at the top.  I no longer am crafting on the porch.  The porch is my Bible study room and Husband's work station. 

So my daughter's old room is now my craft room.  It is 8½ x 9½ and here are a few pictures. I just left her lovely book border in here.  I did make a video too, but it was 5 agonizing minutes of my terrible voice, so I probably won't share that, even though HP was adorable in it.  

I Love checking out peoples craft rooms.  So I thought I'd share mine.  

 Also I just wanted to mention,  I have been blessed with many stamps, but here's the truth, I've been stamping  for probably close to 25 years, I don't like to admit that much because My stamping is not what I would consider "amazing"   it's just a hobby, but I brought it up  because in that time span a person does get quite a collection of stamps. 😉

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
