Anchored

I've always dug the whole nautical look. Admittedly, I did go through quite the preppy phase in high school. Perhaps this is whole nautical obsession of mine is routed in that?

In any event, Martha's bloggers seem to agree with me! This is not too surprising. After all, how could one not be inspired by anchors? They are just so awesomely shaped and thematic!

I decided to start simply aka with cardmaking. I printed and cut out one of the templates on the blog and traced it onto card stock. A little purple highlighter and some "Happy Birthday" and voila! A card was born.

I think it's pretty cute!
