All at Sea!

Good morning, I hope you are all well & the sun is shining where you are. Yes I'm in a really good mood today, no idea why I feel so cheery let hope I continue to feel this good!

Anyhoos today I have one creation for you to see, but it's been made to cover two design team cards.
So we have photo to inspire you from The Craft Garden this month & a fabulous sketch from 
Try Stampin' on Tuesday for you to follow! Both will be posted at the end of my post or you can go straight to them by click on the links above.

I won this & a few more images months ago from Digi Darla, (who now seems to have closed down, sad news because I do like her images) & I knew as soon as I saw the photo inspiration which image I wanted to use!

Shell, your card is just awesome! SO beautiful and I love that image you used.

Effective today our Hostess, Denise, has to close Digi Haven due to a personal illness. If you pray she would appreciate any prayers you are able to send. She has received a very serious diagnosis that doesn't have a favorable outcome. She has enjoyed hosting this challenge and wants to thank you for joining in and for sharing your talents. The prize for this current challenge will not be awarded as all challenges are closed. Thank you so much for your understanding.
