Holiday share and two Mason Jar cards

Hello ladies! Hope you are well.
Got back from the North East coast of Spain (Costa Brava) Wednesday evening. DH and I had a wonderful time together, fantastic weather, good food (delicious fish dishes and salads) and I'd like to say a good rest, but the amount of climbing, walking and swimming I did, didn't rest my body at all. Not that I did excessive things, but just a change from the normal lets itself be felt. Anyway, they say, a change is as good as a rest and I Amen that. I had a fall against the rocks on Tuesday, being 20 metres above sea-level and only having the rocks as protection! My husband got the shock of his life as I nearly fell into a crevice - don't know what would have happed then. I'm scratched and blue but still healthy and crafting :) I thank the Lord for his protection!

Here we are at our favorite fish restaurant, it is directly on the beach and the view of the sea from where we sit is breathtaking, especially the light-fall in this season.



This is the view from our Hotel balcony. We went to the same Hotel, called St. Rock as we did for our Honeymoon. This was taken as the sun was setting.



Now onto a few cards I made with a free download of a Mason Jar image.


I found this image as a free download, as I don't have a stamp. The first card has a jar which was printed on vellum paper and embossed in gold (while the inks was still wet. I attached little punched out butterflies to the inside of the jar and decorated it. The second card is a print out on Card stock and afterwards I filled up my jar with little shells from the Antique Engravings stamp set from Hero Arts.

Thanks for your visit!
Jacqueline

  20. Your picture of your hotel view reminds me so much of France when I went in 1999. Seems like ages ago. It was the best vacation of our lives (hubby and I).

    Your mason jar cards are adorable.
    Hugs...Leanne
