This week is my high schooler’s Spring Break, and we are on vacation! Woohoo!! Yesterday my DH and I went scuba diving in the Bay of Banderas in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We saw treasures that only the ocean floor has to offer.
But there are many kinds of treasures, and before leaving home I played with some of my new SU! ones! Here is a card I made using just that… some new SU! treasures mixed with some of my oldest favorites like the tiny dots from the “Itty Bitty Backgrounds” set.
This is the first time that this big beautiful bird from “Friends 24-7” has seen ink! And I couldn’t wait to use my new Scallop Oval Punch with the new “Oval All” stamp set. The corduroy buttons and brads add such wonderful texture!
Yup!! I had FUN!!! Sure hope you find some treasures in your day, too!
Happy Crafting!

This card is GORGEOUS!
Glad you’re having a great time in Mexico!
Very pretty card, Susan! I love that color combo and all your card details mesh so well together. My youngest DD’s bday is tomorrow and she told me she wanted a blue and brown card…not quite what I had in mind for her at age 9, but your card is getting me thinking in the right direction now. 😉
Hope you have a wonderful time on your vacation! You’re much more brave than I am…I’m too skeered of sharks to ever go scuba diving! lol
Oh,wow your work is perfect and wonderful i love your cards..hugs Laura
Susan, I so wish I was there w/you guys. It is going to be in the 30s next week in Georgia, can you believe that and right before Easter as well.

Great colors, niche layout – the whole card looks so harmonic!!
… and oh, you are a diver too…. I am diving, or should I better say I have been diving,… living just beside one of the best dive locations of the world, makes us sometimes so much used to it, that we forget to treasure it… usually it takes me a visitor to wake me up and rediscover it again! Enjoy your day!
This card is fabulous! love the papers! Love the texture you added! The layout is great!
GORGEOUS! I love the subtle colors you used on this. Gives such a natural look which goes perfect with the main image. Love this card! Best, Curt

Your card is gorgeous, Susan….and I totally love the pics of you with the dolphins!!
Gorgeous, I love this set and you have used it beautifully! I also wanted to comment on your *sea adventure* photos but there was no place to comment – so I’ll do it here — OH MY GOODNESS!!! You must have had so much fun — I can not imagine! I am not much of a water person, and I think I’d be afraid — LOL — but you are obviously having the time of your life — good for you!!! Glad you got the experience!!!
