Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects are centered around Travel & Transportation, so prepare yourself for a fun journey. 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 end of this post.
I love participating in blog hops with my fellow team members because they are all so talented and each month I am excited to see something new. This month’s theme is travel and transportation and my card today is a relaxing scene, traveling on a quite lake or if you think bigger an ocean.
I would love to spend the day and even a night or two on a quite boat, swimming by day and enjoying a glass of wine in the evening while watching the sun set. I do love the sound of the ocean, but since my dream includes swimming during the day, I think I will stick to a lake and leave the sharks for those more adventurous.
