Story of a Beach (swap)

This ATC has a storied history. Angie posted a pool swap. I came across these Heidi Swapp foam stamps that I have had FOREVER & decided I needed to use them. The paint & Paper are also all OLD stash items. Woohoo for me, using up the old, not spending!! Well, the swap was By the POOL, not the beach so, really, this is no good! So, I decided to host a Life's a Beach swap so I could use these already completed ATCs. Goodie, I'm ahead of the game!! In the meantime, Robin's beach swap has a flaker who drops the day BEFORE the swap is due!!! I emailed Chris (Robin was out of town at the time) & told her I had these all done, just had to mail them off. So, after I that, I now need to do something NEW for MY beach swap. LOL. And, while I've been typing this & staring at the image on the card, the bottom blue "waves" look more like whales to me. Time to check to see what's really in my Diet Coke!!!!

Congratulations Doug & Amy!!!

Scott's Nephew got married Friday night (is he technically MY nephew or is that only reserved for the children of my brothers???). He was the ring bearer when Scott & I got married! It was so sweet to see him get married!!! And, in other family news, his sister is PREGNANT!!! Lots of happy family news!!

Anyway, the card in the background is the shower invitation. I used it as my inspiration for the shower card. I forgot to take a pic of the wedding card. But, I have determined, I need more wedding-y stamps!

For Joanne's Little Girl swap. I looked EVERYWHERE for an appropriate image and ended up going, gulp, digital!! I think these Pure Innocence "stamps" are adorable!!
