Lighthouse Journal Cards by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing two cards made with the template from the new 5543 – Journal Template Die Set

I cut the window panes out of the rectangular window and glued them on the back of the ornate frame.
I used 5466 – Lighthouse Set, 5465 – Cliffs Set and 5473 – Seagull Set for the images on the front of my cards. I also used two dies from 5325 – Sail Mini Dies.

I liked that when I folded the card you could see part of the inside.  It gives you a sneak peek about what's inside.  I used one of the border dies on the inside edge.

The sentiment, flying gulls and little anchor are from 5399 – Gull-Friends Set and the rest of the images are from the Seagull set.

The sailboat is from 5184 – Baby Boy Set.

For this card I went bolder with the colors on my lighthouse.

I often work at my kitchen table when I'm coloring and I love these Grid-Lined Placemats – 10 Sheets to protect my work area.  I'd be so upset if I got marker or glue on my table. There are 3 different designs to choose from.  I chose the design that matches my Ai Queen of Craft Mug – 15oz.
