Fun In the Sand

It's been too long since I actually sat in my scrapbook room (read Connor's bedroom here!) and actually worked on a piece. I've purchased some fantastic new stamps from Pink Cat Studio and the Greeting Farm and I just can't seem to get enough time to play with them. I've also become a diehard fan of Younique Country Retreat. Heather, the most accomodating of all scrapbook store owners:-), is fantastic! Heather offers weekend scrapbooking retreats at her home located between Guelph and Fergus, Ontario. Her studio is HUGE! And she has lots of fantastic deals on everything from copics to DP to Petaloo! Fortunately, for those of you who can't drop in on her, she has an online store. I urge everyone to go and check this website out or better yet, book yourself and a few friends in for a weekend of scrapping and relaxing. For a direct link to Heather's store, please click on the logo located in the right hand column!

Okay now onto the scrapbook page, this is the first page of a two page layout that I created for the trip our family took to Sauble Beach last summer. It was the first time my daughter really started to crawl and the first time my stepson got to make sandcastles. All in all, a truly successful day. On this page, I used CTMH Classic Caps for the title and then used CTMH Ticket Tags to create the "Fun Passes" that are peeking out of the bucket. I actually tore up strips of sand paper to create the "sand along the bottom of the page just to add a little texture to the scene. The DP is by Basic Grey.





The second page, also DP from Basic Grey, was a fun extension of the first. I used some textured CS to create the "waves" and created my Post card using SU's Winter Post and CTMH's Daydreams. The layout came together fairly quickly and I was pleased with the results! Here's a quick peek of the layout as it will look in the album. Thanks for taking the time to stop and look!
