Viva la Verve: Thanks for Guiding Me

When Viva La Verve's second sketch in February came out - even with all of those hearts, I saw a nautical card.  Verve was the sponsor of the very first Curtain Call challenge and it was a nautical theme.  This set of stamps has been sitting unused since then and it really shouldn't have.  Not only are the nautical images just right - the sentiments are stunning.

Guiding Me


Now I have to go hide the card.  My poor husband spent a half an hour last night with some nautical looking cord creating nautical knots for me.  But when I got up this morning, the cord with the cool knots just disappeared on these rich colors and patterns.  So his knots got pushed to the side and I added some gold twine.  Fingers crossed that he doesn't ask!
