ReplyDeleteThanks Connie.
DeleteReally cute photos! The distressing technique on your chipboard adds so much interest to your page. I think the final piece has a sort of sea-like feel to it... like it could have been a salvage piece found on a beach!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool Ashley. Thanks for the feedback on this layout.
DeleteWOW, this is sooooo adorable.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I think it will be one of my favorite beach layouts always.
