  6. Love both your pages...as you are aware, the beach is my happy place. Love the texture you created with the shells and your use of the sketch is awesome. Then...you are so good with monochromatic layouts and your style shines in the second page.

    Thank you so much, my wise sister in Christ....for each and every time you lift my spirit with your words of wisdom....I appreciate you more than words can say xx

  7. Awesome saucesome....hmmmnnnn...now I wonder if someone's been to the beach lately, heehee!!!! LOOOOVE them. Blues seems to suit my 'idea' of you - & the calm, eternity-ish feelings it evokes....they come out in your pages here. Oh - now I'm getting all philosophical! Anyways, I really like 'em.....REAL shells...FAB....& that texture & white against the blue on the last one. Yum. Hope you are enjoying life without the school run atm:):)
