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.

Beach Card

I was inspired by  Cards by Jovan for this card. She posted this card and I just had to make it. The card base is Kraft paper. I used white and beige cardstock. I colored with pencils the water, sun, sky and birds. I embossed the sand. I used Life's A Beach for the chair.

My Pal Stitch

Stitch was so funny when Emily went up to him for his autograph. There were no other children around at the time so he was playing around with her. It was so cute to watch. Emily wanted to scrap a page today so she picked out the pictures and all the paper and the lettering. I worked with her to assemble all the pieces. We  used Life's a Beach cartridge for the flower and the Aloha. The title paper is actually a pretty  deep purple color. I am still having trouble getting a good picture. We finished this tonight and I wanted to post the layout. I think I will try to take a picture outside tomorrow.

Wait a minute how did Justice get in here? lol. Emily is still sick and was laying in my bed, but our cat Justice decided to take a nap in Emily's bed. He looked so cute I decided to cover him and take a picture.

Coronado Springs Pool

When we were at Disney World in September 2009 we stayed at Coronado Springs Resort. It was beautiful. It was in the 90's so a few days we would leave the park and take a swim. My daughter and I even went at night when my husband wasn't feeling well. She thought that was awesome (her word.) The little things that excite small children. Here is a simple layout using Life is a Beach cartridge and Colorpak shore pack paper.
