Christmas With A Little Bit Of Beach



Hi! Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend. 
This card has quite a mix of products on it. I woke up early and then had to wait to take a picture because the sun was so bright in the room I take my photos in.
I layered my bow with the tiny bow that comes with the Baby Bootie, from Serendipity Stamps.

I like mixing the two frames from LF and ME

We had a beautiful day at Malibu Beach on Saturday for our granddaughters birthday. It was unseasonably warm. Our GD got this huge paddle board for her birthday. While she was in the water close to the shore this baby seal tried to climb on with her. ( it did scare her a bit at first)  The baby seal decided to stay on shore for several hours by the time he went back in the water his fur was dry and fluffy . It was a great day, we saw whales, seals and dolphins.

  11. Stunning card, Marybeth!! My older daughter went to Pepperdine for 2 years...she loved the beach and we loved visiting her there! What a gorgeous day, I think some of us are having a very early spring and wonderful weather...we are blessed with the sun and warmth today! Your granddaughter looks very pleased to have that as a gift and what a special gift to have the presence of the little baby seal, too!

  25. Those gifts are so great! Love your CAS design. :) What a great day at the beach - seals used to swim with us all the time in the SF bay area when I was a kid - always freaked us out, but we loved it too - they're so cute! :)
