Dive Into Summer!

Ok, I know that summer is either a distant memory or a longed for part of this year but I have at last finished my album for our holiday from 2013!! 
Now I can jump into last years summer pictures with a clear conscience! 

The inspiration for this page was taken from the current layout sketch challenge over at Scrapology
and the January 1st inspiration from Pixels and Paper Challenge blog.


This sketch was created from a layout by Laura Vegas. The original layout by Laura can be seen on the Scrapology blog.


This is the picture that Pixels and Paper want you to take inspiration from.



Here is my take on the sketch and I used Heidi Swapp papers. I love the soft colours of this Serendipity line and the fun patterns.


I have a pack of these cute flip flops and couldn't resist putting a pair under the palm tree. The palm tree was made using a borrowed Sizzix die, I cut out the leaves twice and used foam dots to give a bit of dimension.


I wanted to to stitch a sun on the page but when I finished it looked a bit flat so I added a sticker mounted in the center.


A little bunch of label/stickers in the corner of one photo.

Well that's my post for today and I hope I have inspired you to play along with one or both of these challenges. Below are the links to both blogs.



Thanks for dropping by.xx
