Totally!

It's my turn again to share a layout which means that another week has flown by.

 

This week for All About Scrapbooks I had a play with Cocoa Vanilla's Totally Rad Collection.

 

  

I'm a big fan of Cocoa Vanilla. 

 Their collections are always stunning.

Plus they are Australian!!

  

I was  immediately drawn to the blue and white striped background paper.

It has a bit of a beachy feel to it.

 

So I scrapped a selfie of myself and my son at the beach, taken on our annual January holiday.

 

 

Whilst everyone else was sleeping, we would get up and walk down to the beach.

I love it at that time of morning.

The peace, the calm.

At that time there's not many others there - it feels like you got the beach to yourself. 

A special time for him and I to hang together, to talk or to walk in silence -  to connect.

 

It's something I will always treasure, so I'm really glad we got a photo.

 

To create the layout I added a bit of gesso, and then flicked some spritz around.

I then stamped a bit, and added some embellishments.

I'm always a fan of the frames in their die cut pack.

A flair, a bit of twine, and that's it.

 

I'll be back next week!
