Whale Ocean Love...

Have you been devouring the NEW Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog like I have been?!  What are your favorite things to play with so far?!  I have to just say...if there is ever anything ocean/beach related...that will be one of the FIRST things I go for.  Words just can't express HOW MUCH I love the ocean and beach.  I LOVE to Scuba and be under that water.  I love to snorkel and get as close as I can to all the things.  I love to swim in the waves, float on the water, lay on the beach...I don't really care.  Hee.  Just take me to the ocean.  😍  But one of my FAVORITE thing about the ocean is the amazing world that lives below the surface...including those sea creatures.  So when I saw the Whale of a Time Suite in the catalog...well I couldn't wait to play!

Isn't he just "WHALEY" cute?!  (Hee...see what I did there?!  😛) I LOVE that Seabed Embossing Folder (that I then sponged over with the Just Jade ink to make it really pop)!  Just look at all the texture!  And fun tip...curl the cardstock with a bone folder to really loosen those fibers.  Then break it apart a bit.  I LOVE the interest and detail that it adds!  (I also just distressed the edges of the cardstock with one of the blades on a pair of Paper Snips.  😊

Yes...I also LOVE that pop of Magenta Madness (I think it will be a rare occurrence when I will not be using this color the next 2 years.  Hee.), I LOVE that saying, and I just LOVE that little whale.  He is sooooo cute! 

(I love that ribbon detail too.  💗)
