The girls, of course, hankered for the beach. We took them to Coronado Island and La Jolla (above). They had so much fun! Just behind them, you can see a seal playing and splashing his flippers. How cool is that?!
Well, it's Friday and time for Unity's "Friends with Flair" - unfortunately, this was a bit of a rush job, since we were away and then cooking all day yesterday. I just purchased (this morning!) Carta Bella's "Devoted" paper (6x6 pad) for $2.50 at the local scrapbooking store. It was a good deal - although of course I don't need any more paper - so I thought I better start using it right away! I absolutely adore this stamp set (Out of This World) and thought it would go well with the paper.
The sketch is from Unity DT member Lisa Arana's blog - a simple but very classy card sketch. If you're looking for a challenge, you can join in the fun (entries due by December 13, 2013)!.
How many of you braved the crowds this morning and went shopping? Hubby bought me a new camera for Christmas, but we're still debating whether or not it's "the one", so it remains unopened. I used to love my little Canon Powershot SD750, but it's several years old now and lately, I've been pretty unhappy with the quality of pictures. I've been openly coveting my neighbor's Canon Rebel T3i and it was on sale at Target today. We'll have to decide within a few weeks, obviously. What to do, what to do...

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend! Thank you for visiting and don't forget to visit Unity on Monday for their Cyber Monday sale! I'm sure it's going to be awesome! :)
Awww, you look so good as a family :)
ReplyDeleteNice card too!
It sounds like you had a good time! It's nice to get away. Your card is cute!
ReplyDeleteI too am looking for a decent Camera. A sil has the Canon Rebel T3 and she loves it!
Glad you were able to get away! We all need to do something fun sometimes! And what a cute card. I love the stamp you used!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great get away. I kayaked in San Diego once, and a seal joined me on the front of my boat. Once I got over my fear of being flipped, it was one of the best experiences of my life! Unfortunately, I was so busy balancing, I couldn't reach the camera. Love your card. I haven't seen that stamp, but it's adorable.
ReplyDeleteI have a Nikon DSLR that I absolutely love. Shoot me an email if you're wondering about Nikons at all. julieodil at charter dot net
