My setup at the Coast

I was in a motel for 8 days on the Oregon coast in January.  I was over there for work.  I didn't want to be bored and you can only walk on the beach so much.  Also was raining, so I took my scrapbooking supplies and worked on an album.  I got 16pages done and a handful of cards.  Here is my room, set up.  The hotel workers helped my with the table from their conference area and set it up.  I think they really wanted to know what I had in all the bags, since I was only there for 8 day.  Also probably to make sure I wasn't wreaking their room.  It was a tiny, tidy 1 bed unit.

Birthday Card for Nephew

Here is a birthday card that I made for my nephew.  Using stamp sets " It's a Zoo"and "For All Occasions", from CTMH.  I stamped the images on the card base.  Then I stamped them on another piece of paper.  Cut selective areas and pop-dotted them onto the image, on the card base.
