It's our 3rd day of July's Waltzingmouse release, and the set we're previewing is called My Island. And let me tell you, this set has a plethora of possibilities. I went mostly white with my first card. The main panel is actually composed of 5 images. It was a blast layering them. I just framed it with a Spellinders Floral Oval die, and added a sweet little pinwheel. That really isn't there because that set isn't going to be peeked until tomorrow. *wink* The sparkly flourishes in the background are from the set peeked yesterday called North Shore.
Isn't this straw umbrella just charming? Well, we're taking a family vacation to Hawaii this year and will be going on a few excursions. I like to tip our guides if we really enjoy our adventure and I thought it would be nice to include a little Hawaiian thank you card with it. Thus the "Mahalo".
I also made a card with the sentiment "Aloha" for the lady who will be cleaning the condo for us during our stay.
Of course I had to include a signature on the back of my card, and Claire has helped with that with her signature set called Make Your Mark. Love this versatile set. It has a signature for virtually any style needed.
Well, that's it from me today. Tomorrow I have a totally different color palette to share. I hope you'll stop by for a look-see!!

Tosha this is fabulous! The color on your main panel just pops right out - it's beautifully vivid again the elegance of the white!
Oh my!! Your white card is fan-flippin'-tastic!! And what a cute little embellishment on the side *winks back*. Love the idea of the cards, I'm sure they'll be much appreciated by the recipients. xx

How exciting that your family is taking a trip to Hawaii Tosh!!! and isn't this set just PERFECT for your sweet thank you cards - way to think ahead kiddo!!! Love the CAS design on them! and your white card is just beautiful with the wonderful framing and colorful stampings!
Lovely cards! What do "Mahalo" and "Aloha" actually mean then? Being from the UK, I'm not sure.
