I adore this vacation photo of my daughter taking some hesitant steps into the ocean! But the ocean colors were rather dull and I was having trouble finding the right papers. But the colors in the BasicGrey and Cosmo Cricket papers were perfect - they even had orange to match my daughter's suit! I love stitching on my layouts - both machine and by hand. The templates make the hand stitching process and breeze and it adds so much fun to your creations! I also tried a new technique by sewing a partial flower made out of twill! Trying new things is one of my favorite things about this hobby!

I just recently got into stamping. I held off the hobby for so long because I always felt stamps would be a waste of money. Stamps can run between $6 to $30 dollars, and I was not going to spend that much money on something that I felt I would only use once. What changed my mind? I stumbled across the website of Jennifer McGuire and fell in love with her work. I saw all the different techniques that were possible and was hooked. The creative possibilities with stamps are endless.

I loved the rich colors and intriguing designs of this kit and knew photos of our trip to the Turks & Caicos Islands would be perfect on these papers. The layout, particularly the title, was inspired by Jessica Sprague’s layout in Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking 3. I decided not to add drop shadows to the elements to give it a clean, contemporary look.
