A bit of paradise

The temperature is hovering around freezing, and it's anybody's guess where it will be when we get precipitation tonight, but "wintry mix" is probably in our immediate future. Who wouldn't be dreaming of  a sunny day at the beach?
I combined Crafty Ribbon's theme of nautical and Simon Says Stamp's theme of a piece of paradise and got this. The digi image is colored with pencils.  The quote is stamped in brown ink on kraft paper.  The ribbons have an ombre-blue effect and have frayed edges, so they look sort of weathered and beachy.
I'm entering this card in these challenges:
Crafty Ribbons 112: Nautical
Simon Says Stamp Monday: Piece of Paradise
Word Art Wednesday #170: Anything Goes
