Just Because

Hi guys,  I am going to make this rather quick as I have been sick for the past few days and today was spent sleeping all day!  I think that maybe I have a good case of jet lag and cruise lag and I'm feeling ever so dizzy!  If it gets worse tomorrow, you may just get a card pic and no text!  A quick rundown for this card, though.  I embossed half of the background and cut it on the diagonal.  I added some blue to the top to match my ribbon.  I cut the largest Floral Oval out of decorative card, topped it with two Moroccan accent pieces and my sentiment stamped and cut out with a small Floral Oval and inked.  I cut one of the nautical borders to run diagonally with my embossed background.  Ties a double bow and added some stick pins.  Some pearlie swirlies along the border finished off the background and the paper piercing competed the card.


Here is Sheila in Hamburg in the town centre.  It was very pretty ,but since we were there on Sunday, nothing was open!

This is the Police building in the centre.  Quite spectacular isn't it?

Back on board the ship, the waiters paraded around the room with the lights off with their flaming Baked Alaska.  All for now, Sue x
