"Ludington Pier"

Hello!!! I'm squeezing in one last post before I get away with my hubs for our 25th wedding anniversary. We'll be cruising for the first time ever!! I am so looking forward to our time together....We feel very blessed for the 25 years God has given to us and even more blessed to have the opportunity to take a really nice vacation to celebrate together.

I decided to post a layout with a nautical theme in honor of our cruise. These pics are from our summer vacation. It was a super foggy day in Ludington. If you double click it you can enlarge for the details. Just hit your back button to come back to the blog again.
I thought it was very "I" catching (sorry, I couldn't help myself) to use the lighthouse die cut (Life is a Beach) as my "I" in the title. The strip of patterned paper in the middle is from SU Sweet Pea collection. It has a dotted circle which kind of echoes the dots and circle windows on the lighthouse. I used the SU punch to cut the penant flags for the side borders. I cut each punch in half to look like a flag. We were a little chilly but had a great time walking the pier.

Be sure to check back in a few days. Even though I will be out of the country, I've saved a few posts to publish while I'm out. AND don't forget the giveaway coming with the Paper Secrets Blog Hop.
