Beach anyone?




This is a little album made from a Tru-fit folio from Close To My heart. My sister called and wanted me to make something for her director who is leaving. She lives near the beach and loves beachy things so she asked if I could make a card or something beachy. Well I do not have hardly any beach themed stamps and I had to make this pronto to get it in the mail so I used what I had and then drew some what I didn't.

The inside uses several sets plus my homemade ones. The seahorse and the cute little sea turtle are Sweet 'n Sassy digis. The sand bucket and sand castle are part of a set By The Seashore from Sherrod Studio. I drew the starfish, shells, sand dollar and beach ball and colored all of them with my Copic markers . The papers are from Sandy Lion, the ribbon is from my stash. I used pop dots on the starfish and shells to give it some dimension
The tags for the folders uses Dream Silhouettes, Encouragement, and A True friend all from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps. I also uses a set Treasure Life from CTMH as well. She wanted something they could all sign for her so I left two of the tags blank as well as the backs of the other tags so they have plenty of room to say a little thank you. This was my first project using the Tru-fit folios I hope she likes it.


Thanks for looking!
