This weekend I was so happy to take our fur baby girl to the beach! This was her first big adventure since she came home from the hospital. She had such a fantastic day and sitting on the beach I was inspired to make this card featuring the fantastic stamps and dies from My Favorite Things paired with the awesome adhesives from Xyron!
