Beach fun!

A day at the beach 2009

I used Life's a beach cartridge to cut out the pelican and beach word and the sand bucket and play word. I ripped different colored cardstock for the ocean and sand. I embossed the sand ans then my daughter wanted to emboss the water so I let her do that. I colored the sun and sky with pencils and mineral spirits.
