Michael really wanted to see the ocean. We usually avoid it because almost always we all get sunburned regardless of the amount of sunscreen we use. SO, we decided we would go for 30 minutes only. Usually I don't burn, and in the 30 minutes I was not burned, but I did get burned in the 30 minutes more it took to change all 4 of my kids out of wet swimsuits and into clothes for the ride home. I changed them in the van but my back was exposed to the sun the whole time, so I got a burn on just my back. No kids are sunburned though, and neither is Mic (my silly redheaded hubby) so I am calling it a success.
This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).

And I am going private because my kiddos are always in their underwear and I can't convince them to stay dressed.
