Blog Candy and Lots of Photos :)

(Alert! This post is very picture happy! LOL Plus, scroll down for some exciting news! )

Hello stamping friends! I hope you all had a beautiful relaxing weekend. We had some wonderful family time going to the beach, hanging out together and lots of relaxing. It’s the most beautiful time of the year here with temps in the 70’s and no humidity. I love this weather.

Here are a few photos of my weekend.

We spent the afternoon at the beach, lagoon and park. Airlie Beach is the hub of the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can see the Whitsunday Islands where there are 75 tropical islands.

Bathing beauties. :) I was so proud of my 7 year old reading a book. It does my heart good seeing them reading. :)

Another photo of the marina and tropical islands.

Love this sunset with all its beautiful colors. I am always amazed and grateful for God’s glory and beauty that surrounds us.

And here is today’s card using the Heartfelt Greetings and Off White Flowers. Some new crochet trim that will be available with this month’s release. I am busy updating the website and getting everything ready for next week. I’m so excited to share with you what Inspired by Stamping Design Team has been up too. Can’t wait! :)

I hope you have enjoyed today’s photos and card!

Sorry I wasn't here for a while, mij dear father-in-law passed away and I just felt so sad I couldn't do any cardmaking.
I missed a lot of beautiful inspiration! Seems you and your family had a great Summer :)
