Used Life is a Beach Cricut cartridge for Turtle image. For sentiment I used 2 different stamp sets: K Andrew Designs Splash-tastic Summer "Fin tastic" and Whimsical Designs "Happy Birthday To You" . Used Kraft cardstock & water scrapbook paper. Tore the one edge of the Kraft cardstock strips to give it a more realistic beach sand look. Embellished with a Turtle Bead & twine.
When we were in O'ahu this past Mar for hubby's niece beach wedding we took a bus tour of the island the day before the wedding. The bus tour driver was wonderful and when he knew there were Sea Turtles along the way he stopped the bus and allowed us to get out to see the Sea Turtles. Only a few people got off the bus and I was most definitely among the ones getting off to see the Sea Turtles. There was this one Sea Turtle up on the beach sunning itself.
Can you see at least 2 Sea Turtles in
the water here?
