Summer Fun

With summer now in full swing, this week's Glitz theme is focused on all the good things of the season. I decided to take the opportunity to scrapbook a few photos from a little treasure we found on a trip last summer, a small stretch of the Northern California shoreline with beach glass for sand. We spent hours sifting through the beautiful beach glass pebbles. To highlight the soft colors of the glass I used the aqua papers from the "Uncharted Waters" line, cutting a heart from one of the 8x8 papers. To add some texture I crumpled one of the Paper Layers, and placed a sequins over the date of our trip. Then added a playful pop of stamped anchors in the corners.

Sandy Toes

Cardstock stickers add a beautifully embellished finish to a layout. Sorting through some photos from last summer, this one caught my eye. I thought it would be a fitting shot, perfectly complimented by the summer sun and the "Uncharted Waters" cardstock stickers. To get a little more mileage out of my stickers, I often cut them in half or, and doubl their use. I cut three different cardstock stickers for this layout. The "Sandy Toes" and ticket stickers are easy enough to tell, the list of numbers (top right) is from the bottom half of the "Remember This" sticker (center).

I started a new hobby with my girls recently. We are learning Spencerian script with a dip ink oblique pens. I have a long way to go, but we all start somewhere!
