You all know that coffee cards are my favorites to design...did you know that nautical was 2nd runner up?  There is something about nautical designs that make me happy.  

cardstock:  papertrey ink vellum paper:  carta bella/ahoy there  stamps:  verve stamps/adjusted sails  ink:  stampin' up white embossing  other:  spellbinders circles, studio calico wood veneer

I love sentiments...LOVE them.  Verve Stamps is always a great source of thee most awesome inspirational quotes.  Today's card uses Adjusted Sails...it's on sale for $2.40!

I decided to use Carta Bella's Ahoy There collection.  I need to replenish my nautical paper collection supply <-- I say that but honestly, I have so much paper but I'm such a collection girl.

Loved playing with Mojo Monday's Tall & Skinny sketch:


I remembered that Mountain Plains Crafters has a Nautical challenge:


Fun to be joining these ladies, first time linking!  I've gotten to know a handful of them through the Coffee Lovers Blog Hops:)

Tall and skinny, what I love is that that type of card makes me think of you, even though I know that you're petite. Well I think coffee is my #1, wine #2 and perhaps someday I should get better at making birthday and thank you cards? Maybe I need more vintage trailer stamp sets?

Amy, that card is simply amazing. And I know what you mean about collecting paper. I can't seem to stop buying it. I see a cute design in a pack of papers and, well, you know the rest. Thanks so much for playing with us at Mountain Plains Crafters. Good luck.
