Summer

It's mid-winter here, and I'm hiding indoors to keep warm.  Still scrapping summer layouts, though...



I took inspiration from two challenges for this one.

Scrap Our Stash:


The theme of my layout is 'going places' - our dog Jess loves outings, and the beach is a definite favourite.  I have used five patterned papers in the block on the left.  The round embellishments are the flair, and the pearls.

Scrappy Friends - This or That:  I used paper clips.

What I love about these challenges is the stash-busting element - looking at my supplies with fresh eyes, or reaching for items I haven't thought about for a while. Fun!

Materials 
Becky Higgins Project Life - Jade Edition patterned papers (2) 
Cosmos Cricket Circa 1934 - Garbo patterned paper(both sides) 
Echo Park Victoria Gardens - Blooming Blossoms patterned paper 
Paper clips x2 
Creative Embellishments Summer flair
Petaloo Mulberry Street - Color Me Crazy white embossed daisy
Bazzill Basics Bitty Blossoms - Apple flowers
Green Tara 2.5cm Petals - White flower
Red organza flower (from my habby stash)
FWAB Chloe - Red pearl
Kaisercraft Bliss pearl
