ESCAPE

I just completed a layout using this sketch from Aphra Bolyer for Creative Scrappers:


And here's my layout:


This is a photo taken of good friends at the beach last summer.  I used Anna Griffin paper and embellishments.  The hibiscus blossom is a Close To My Heart stamp that I used strategically to cover up someone's rear end in the background of the photo--lol!  I also used CTMH cardstock and ink in Moonstruck for the photo mat and the random stamped blue pieces at the bottom.  The hibiscus match the print in Rex's shirt.  Here's a close up of the flower embellishment:


The leaves are cut from more of the Anna Griffin paper--actually this is the reverse side of the orange pattern.  This paper pack is gorgeous!  The CTMH stamp sets that I used are C1356 Extreme Happiness and C1358 Surf's Up.  Check them out on my website HERE!
I am also using this layout in the following challenges:
Order of the Opus Gluei--Challenge #58--Life's a Beach
Crafty Hos--6/6--Anything Goes
Stampin' for the Weekend--Challenge #40--Summer/Travel Theme
Raise the Bar--Challenge # 21--Celebrate Summer
