Hey everyone 

I used my CTMH stamps to create the background paper with versa mar

When making the background i was thinking about a challenge at Scraptastic - Subway art... love how the words are all over and different ones for the beach, Sun, Water, Sand, Fun, Hot, Chillin, Friends, Party, Drinks and Beach was in there... I don't think i am forgetting any but it is mostly covered up now. 

Again some CTMH stamps for the sunshade, chairs and flip flops

in this picture you can see a close up of the glitter i used on background paper

I used my cricut to create the letters and the shapes behind the picture

I used Washi tape in the corners

I used basic grey paper for the frames and the polka dot paper

and one more of the LO :)

I also wanted to share what my work space looks like while I work!!  messy messy messy!!!
