Good morning, y’all – hope you had a good Saturday, maybe did some card making. Thanks to those of you who left a comment yesterday and are now entered to win the blog candy! If you didn’t – there’s still time. Here’s a link – you can go get entered right now, if you like!

Before we get started, I want to thank the ladies over at The Paper Players – they selected my Large Letters Outdoor Adventure card as one of the Cut Above winners the other day! That’s a wonderful honor and was a really nice surprise yesterday. Thanks, y’all! If you want to see that project – check it right here!

Which is an interesting coincidence….but, is it really?!?…cuz that’s what I used for my card today! 🙂 I combined Cookie Cutter Halloween with several fun stamp sets – Spooky Fun and Halloween Scares.

I want to go on a Cruise.

I want to go to Alaska.

A cruise – to Alaska? Yep. Perfect! So….my goal for 2017 is to earn that cruise!! Everyone keep your fingers crossed that I can do the work and earn my way to a fun-filled Alaskan Cruise, okay?? 🙂

So – I made a card today that evokes that Alaskan Cruise. I used some Outdoor Adventure die cuts, a touch of Swirly Scribbles, a bit of Serene Scenery DSP and a fun little sentiment from Thoughtful Banners. Take a look-see:
