    Thank you! Love the inspiration. I’m planning to make some cards for one of our local coffee farms and the lily pond would fit right into the design.

    Ooh, pick me! Your beautiful card would look so nice sitting next to my Jennifer Mcguire card! You are both very inspiring to me. Especially you, from my clean and simple scrapbooking days!💜🩵🩷

    Thank you, Cathy, loved that you used the Oceans Windows set again but in a simpler way. I was team bubbles on the lily pad but I don’t regret your choice.

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful card.

    Gorgeous card! Love this Altenew release, and the Ocean Windows die set is one of my favorites! Love the colors you used and the beautiful seahorse and water lilies!
