Sketch #409~Friends are Like Seashells, Stampin Up

I like an argyle design, it reminds me 

of those sweaters in the 80's  I always wanted one.  

But never got one.  

Anyways, Diamonds are so hard for me, and 

yet I think I must try when I see a card challenge. 

Some day I will have to invest in either a punch

or a die,  to make diamonds that are evenly shaped. 

But I tried anyways with my paper trimmer. 

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challnege

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Friends are like Seashells 

I hope the background don't look too busy.  

I got a little carried away stamping shells.  

I like how the ribbon gives a nice textured look to 

the card.  I also added some glossy accents to 

the tiny shells in the diamonds. 

I like browns and blue together.  I also love brown 

houses with a red door.  Just thought I'd share that since

my mind is thinking in colors right now.  

Perhaps this summer I shall get a little jar of sand 

and glue that to my card, if at all possible, I 

think it would look so authentic with the seashells. 

I wanted to share this cute picture of HP.  This dog loves 

his toys, so tonight he went to his toy box and 

brought out the rope.  My husband has to play

tug with him, and after HP gets tired out he flops

on his back and holds the rope like this.

Look at all that fur.  YIKES.. Tons of shedding.  

But he so soft, that ya just want to snuggle right up 

close to him.
