Dia daoibh!
What a week! Electric Picnic has descended upon us again—young and old packing up their tents, glitter, and rain ponchos. This year, between the forecast and the state of the fields, they’ll need canoes more than camping chairs. Honestly, I can’t wait for Monday’s gossip at work: “Yeah, Dermot, the band was class, but I lost a welly somewhere between the chip van and a puddle that had its own postcode.”
Meanwhile, while they’re off raving in the mud, I stayed high and dry and made something nautical of my own. The card design’s from the Silhouette store, cut on my trusty Cameo from Core’dinations cardstock. Mounted on a vellum circle, clean and simple, with the wee boat raised up on foam dots—like it’s floating without the risk of trench foot.

Onto a few challenges:
- Cardz 4 Guyz #377 - Boats
- Creative Crafting Uncles #68 - Anything Goes
- Shopping Our Stash #555 - On or In The Water
- CAS on Friday #316 Vellum
- Allsorts Challenge #830 - Something beginning with B (birds, boat, birthday, blue water)
- Cut It Up #337 Anything Goes
So while they’re dancing knee-deep in muck, I’ll be at work steering the ship. At least if things get rough, I’ve got a paper sailboat at the ready—sure it won’t save me, but it’ll look fierce cute while I go down with the paperwork.
A lovely CAS nautical themes card, many thanks for sharing your B for Boat card at Allsorts challenge.
