Had a great time at the scrapbook retreat! Made a cool altered canvas that I will post soon! Also did several layouts but I need to photograph and edit them. So here is a layout from a while back that I did at my friend Shelly's house. She commented and you might notice too that I do a LOT of water/pool layouts. Well what can I say?, that's what we do all summer! In this one I actually got my husband to do to the pool with us! It's almost scary how much he and my youngest son look and act alike! Pretty simple layout but I was doing 3 of the same pool trip! One for each of the boys books and one for the family album! I used Cosmo Cricket Salt Air, Jillibean Soup corrugated alphas, Cricut Life's A Beach, and even did some sewing!

 Here is a close up of the life preserver embellishment I made using Life's a Beach. I decided to use DMC floss instead of the paper cut out to go through the little holes, I really like it!

 This shows another embellishment I made by punching out two layers and putting them together, also shows the sewing. Thanks for looking, check back soon!
