Wind and Surf

This spring has been much windier than I recall since we moved six years ago. Yes, can you believe that...it seems just yesterday that we experienced that record amount of hurricanes that welcomed us in 2004. Usually by now the Wenger family should have a great jumpstart on our tans and frequented the beach more than a handful of times, but schedules and life has kept us far from the beach. We did get to go enjoy the beach on Mother’s Day. It was windy and the waves were crashing. It seems to be windier than usual and better waves than in years past. We are hoping to hae great fun up at Ron Jon’s with the surf board this year!

The weather conditions made me think of this birthday card I made recently. The surfer stamp is from Stampin’ Up! and the the cool flourish I picked up at Michaels before Christmas. I used Versamark ink and white embossing powder to create the deco wave on top of the cardstock and patterned paper layers along with my trusty Glue Glider™ Pro to assemble it!

Totally Tubular Day!

Living in Florida has its many perks...like visits from family and friends throughout the summer, along with fun days at the beach. 

Yesterday, the Jones family came to visit and we went to Indialantic beach. Although we only had a few hours of fun in the sun, the girls had a blast horsing around on these inner tubes in the ocean.The grown ups did, too, but we made sure no one took pictures of that! Since it was low tide, the waves were crashing close to the shoreline and were pretty brutal. The cousins drank mouthfuls of sea water, got pummeled by the waves, yet we all had a totally tubular day!
