'Cause I've got to be free......
Free to face the life that's ahead of me.
That has to be one of my ALL time favorite Styx songs - ever! If you are familiar with it -keep humming away as you read along. :)
I have a little goodnesss to share with you today......and it all began with a sketch. I know - shocked, right? Me starting with a sketch or color challenge.....I can't help myself....that is what inspires me. you should try it out sometime......hehe
Anyway - back to my little creation for the day. The sketch originated with the Create with Connie and Mary Summer Edition. They offer up the best challenges. Head over and check it out. Here is the sketch:
Now I know you are probably wondering what stamp set I used for this little baby.....When I saw the sketch - I IMMEDIATELY thought to use Open Sea......but all of you are probably tired of my obsession with the nautical stuff.....so I sat on the sketch for a few days and couldn't get my mind to bend from my original vision.....so I stopped fighting it and went for it. What do you think?
I adore "dirty" cards. do you? The stamps are all from Open Sea except the sentiment with is from All Holidays, which is on the retirement list.....WHAT??? I love this set - it covers just about All Holidays.....get it? i couldn't help myself...... I just can't believe it is retiring :( The designer series paper is from the mini catalog as well - Nautical Expedition and the baker's twine....oh how I love the baker's twine........ wanna take a closer look at the ship? If you don't, turn your head because I am about to show you:
And I just couldn't resist the inside:
Well- that about sums it up for the day - let me know what you think - i {{luv}} comment love.....lol!!

I sang "come sail away" through reading your entire post which is totally awesome! I also loved that you added the bit about dirty cards. That just seems so much more fun than distressed. Your card is fabulous and I am glad you joined the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.
I absolutely love this card. When we used this set in club, I really liked it. Now I know I really NEED it! You make the most awesome cards, that's why I keep coming back for more. I'm afraid of what I might miss ;) Paris
