When I first saw the stamp set "By the Tide" it was actually SUPER easy for me to just pass it right by. 'It's not my style' I thought. I hardly ever get to the beach it's really the opposite of my lifestyle, not that I don't sometimes wish it was but living in the midwest I'm more trees, grass and livestock instead of sand, water and marine life! LOL
Recently I saw a card...somewhere (we will talk about that in a minute) and it sold me on this stamp set and immediately I had to have it but since I knew it wouldn't be a mainstay in my stamping repertoire I wanted it for FREE or at least a discount.
So when Stampin' Up! said that I got a discount for my birthday I scooped this set up immediately! (Do you want a discount from Stampin' Up! for your birthday? Join my Create With M.E. team today!) Here is my version of the card I think I saw because I can't find the card I really saw anywhere and I'm starting to think I just dreamed about it.
We are going to duplicate it tonight at my Forget-Me-Not card keeper class in Villa Grove. Still room to join M.E.! Email M.E. now!
I really do love Pinterest don't you? I think this time though Pinterest took advantage of me! LOL I have spent a lot of time looking on my boards and even other stampers boards to find the card that drew me to this stamp set in the first place. First so I could refresh my memory on the card and secondly to give credit. Darn if I can't find it anywhere. I think my version that was hazy in my head turned out pretty good!
I guess I have to stop taking Pinterest for granted. Just because I see an idea or recipe somewhere doesn't mean it automatically goes on my boards. (that comes in the future I guess) Like me on Pinterest to see many ideas I actually did pin! ;-)
