"Pack Your Bags"

The Impression Obsession challenge is "Pack Your Bags", and the word "challenge" really applies for me. I felt that the only IO stamps I had that worked with this theme are my lighthouse stamps, but I think I've used all three multiple times. I almost bought a fourth lighthouse stamp yesterday(just can't get enough). So I'm doing something totally different!

Okay, so I still used a lighthouse, but it's cut from Webster's Pages paper. I used two IO stamps, the fabulous Canvas Cover-A-Card (CC073) and the sentiment (B11107). The photograph was taken at beautiful Chester Basin at sunset, here in Nova Scotia. There is so much to see and enjoy here, that I like to pack a lunch and a bathing suit and enjoy my beautiful home province!
Here's the IO challenge : http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2013/07/pack-your-bags-challenge.html

    Well I have to say it's gorgeous, Shona. Not only does it do for a card, but it also would be great as a scrapbook memory page too! I really like how you used the canvas BG and the words are terrific too! Thanks for playing and good luck in the drawing too!!

    Absolutely fabulous the photo is so serene love the lighthouse it looks like it's make of canvas rather than paper. I agree with Shirley this would make a great scrapbook page or even framed for a wall hanging .

    Gorgeous lay-out/card Shona! Very creative. I love that quote, I have a stamp with it as well, but I think it's from Penny Black. Love nice quotes. Have a great day, Shirleyx
