Growing up, I spent most summers living on the lake in Minnesota. Those lazy summer reading books on the dock, swimming, water skiing, and hanging out bring back great memories. So, Stampin’ Up!’s Waterside Retreat Suite calls me to me. I love all of the images and dies in the Relaxing Waterside Bundle and appreciate the great patterns in the Waterside Retreat 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
In addition, the images and paper provide a great opportunity to create masculine-themed cards.
In today’s card, I used a sketch for my inspiration. Each month, our team of Kim’s Paper Krafters works on a crafting challenge. This month, the challenge calls for us to create either a card or a memory keeping page using the following sketch.
