Lighthouse

 We grew up in Michigan and as long as we have been away we still feel like that is home :)  Whenever we go back we like to get to the water at least once, it doesn't always happen but we do like to go see the lighthouses and Michigan has many of them to visit.  My friend loves them too so this was her birthday card.


  • Gray Wolf Graphics - Point Bestie Lighthouse stamp, colored w/ markers
  • PPD - Stitched Postage Stamp rectangle die
  • Impression Obsession - Small grass die
  • Raspberry Road design - Love lives here papers
  • Stamps of Life - Postmarks2stamps, sentiment stamp
  • Martha Stewart - circle punch

I would like to share my card today with the following challenges:

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by today,

Connie

I live in Michigan, and the first thing I thought of when I saw this creation was that Michigan has so many lighthouses. I LOVE my Mitten, and I can tell you do too. Lots of wonderful work here, and great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, I hope we see you back again soon!!

What a beautiful card! I love the trio of patterned papers you used for the background - they complement your image perfectly.

This is so lovely! I love how you made your background. I need to keep this in mind. I have yet to out to a light house here. You have to get there by boat. Maybe in the near future!

Your friend's birthday card is absolutely charming and captures the nostalgia of Michigan's lighthouses beautifully! The Gray Wolf Graphics stamp of Point Bestie Lighthouse, colored with markers, is a perfect centerpiece. I love how you incorporated the Stitched Postage Stamp rectangle die and the small grass die for added detail, complemented by the lovely papers from Raspberry Road Design. It's a heartfelt tribute to Michigan and your shared memories of home.
