Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word and this month our projects are centered around REMEMBER. This word can mean different things to different people; fond memories, respectful tributes, special occasions that we’ll never forget. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
There’s something about the ocean. Just the smell of salt water in the air can bring back memories of childhood fun at the beach. Growing up in the 80s, my father would just leave us at the shore and pick us up late in the afternoon. I don’t think parents could get away with that today lol.
Now as the weather gets warmer and warmer, I daydream of walking on the boardwalk and sitting with a drink while meditatively watching the waves in the water. Maybe grab some lunch too.
That’s why I’m happy to share a project I made with a beautiful suite of products from the upcoming 2019–2020 Annual Catalog (available in June): Come Sail Away. Nautical stamps, dies, Designer Series Paper and trinkets all coordinate for a variety of projects like the card I made.
I can’t wait for you to see everything in the suite when it’s released in June along with tons of great new products in the 2019–2020 annual catalog.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Sheryl Sharp at Sharp Notes by Sheryl. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group and you don’t want to miss it!
