"Hugs Sand Kisses" card

Hey there my crafty friends, it feels like it's been forever since my last blog post.. I guess all these fun summer days haven't left me much time for crafting, but I did find a little craft time yesterday(Yeah!!!).. Well, I wanted to stop by and share this fun summery card I made for my mother in-law.. She ended up in the hospital this week and I thought this card would help make her feel better (or at least bring a smile to her face)... I am so very pleased how super cute this card turned out and I would really like to make a whole summer card series like this one :0) 

Isn't this face just the cutest!!! It's from
