Here is the inspiration photo for this week's Papercraft Star #154 ~ SIGH!
(Also Go to the blog and check out the BLOG CANDY that's up for grabs celebrating Papercraft Star's 3rd Anniversary and new blog design!)
You all KNOW how much I LOVE the beach!
For whatever reason, I chose to strictly go with the BEAUTIFUL colors and I created a Thank You card for my Dear blog friend, Ros (who also happens to be a team mate here at PCS!)
Ros sent me an envelope of BEAUTIFUL crafting things for my birthday in April and this seemed like the perfect occasion to use them! I chose the heart paper and edge punch of hearts because I LOVE how Sweet she is!

The blues remind me of the color of the water. The beige is for the sand and this FAB pink bow reminds me of that Gorgeous pink sky in the photo!

I hope you like my card!
Now it's YOUR turn! Get out your crafty things and make something for our challenge! Don't forget there is BLOG CANDY to be won!

I hope your dad and the rest of you are all on the mend.
