Great design Carole....I like the lighthouse and your reef knot! I think you are a dab hand at the male cards. So glad you enjoyed your day out at Southport.....looks like you were all having a good time...including that brave fella...or maybe he was boasting 5 on his arm!

Wonderful masculine card Carole! I love the painted button and the kinda weathered look to the card. I don't mind seeing cards for men as I struggle to make them and need as much inspiration as possible.
ReplyDeleteYou all look to be having a great time, even Jeff, in the photos. I'm pleased you had a wonderful time away with the Golden Girls. Debra x
Wow this is simply stunning sweetie hugs Pops x
