Life's A Beach

Hello, and happy Saturday!  I hope this post finds you enjoying a beautiful weekend, with lots of wonderful things planned.  I have a layout to share with you today that I put together with my Cottage Cutz dies from The Scrapping Cottage.  I really do have photos to put on my pages, but most of them are in storage, so I just keep making pages and someday, it'll take while to get all the pictures where they belong.  What a fun day that will be!!  ;-)
As I said, I created this beach scene with my dies for the castle, posts and seagull, but the rest is strictly paper incorporating lots of tearing, and sponging.  This time I used colored card stock to cut the die cuts out, because I couldn't get my Copic coloring to look as authentic as the kraft card stock does.  I added a little twine around the posts for some texture and interest, and this page pretty much says it all.  Life's A Beach!!!

Thanks for popping in today.  It's always a pleasure to have you stop by, and go out and make it a great day with some happy stamping!

Love ya,
