The little cabin in the Waterfront stamp set made me think of beach huts, so when I needed to stamp a thank you card for a friend who lives in Hawaii, I knew right where to go. I just love the tiny little palm trees! So cute. And it was easy to add a row of colorful beach huts. Doesn't it just make you want to grab your swimsuit and head for the Caribbean?
