Thank You Gatefold Shutter Card

I love themes and what my DD calls "matchy-matchy" stuff.  Being a Kindergarten teacher allowed me to indulge (some might say, overindulge) in thematic decor, activities and even my clothes and jewelry!  

So, I love the Simon Says Stamp card kits that are delivered to my mailbox every month and could not wait to receive the latest nautical themed kit.   I took it along with me in the RV and used some of the fabulous papers, card stock, stamps and embellishments to create a couple of gatefold shutter thank you cards.  



The star embellishment on the band is from Tim Holtz and is echoed by the star stamp that I used to form the background on the center panel of the card.  The life saver paper, of course, parallels the "You're a lifesaver" sentiment on the front.  




Oh how I loved putting this card together!!!!  One last peek:-




And look who else was out on the sunny deck with me - Cocoa and his new little sister, Katie.  She is quite the character and makes Cocoa look sedate and quite angelic! 







Thanks for visiting with me today and I'll try to rein in the matchy-matchy stuff next time!  : )  Christine
