'family selfie'

Hello crafty chickies :)....I was overjoyed to open this month's box from 

Scraps of Elegance a few days ago....so many pretty things!

As our temperatures here are almost up to 100 degrees, I have no problem whatsoever 

with staying indoors, cranking up the A/C and getting crafty:)

'family selfie'

This is a fun photo I took of my boys and I on the beach last month...

my favourite summer memories...I started with the beautiful Blue Fern Studios paper,

masking with a Prima stencil, and then used some mists to color my background.

Then I added some pieces of a vine wreath that I bought at Michael's, 

lots of the pretty Prima flowers that came with the flower add-on ( a must have), and some seashells. 

Every single time we go to Florida, I always have to hit the gift shop for some shells :)

I would like to enter my design over at one of my favourite challenge blogs called 'Scrapkopilka'.

They are having a challenge called 'Sea Stories'...you can find more about this theme here.

There are always so much beautiful work to be found on this blog! I love looking at all the wonderful projects from the design team and all the challenge entries, all very inspiring to me.

Here is the super gorgeous kit for July from Scraps of Elegance

called 'Malika's Whimsy Kit'.

This month's kit is named after our designer Malika Kejriwal....please give

her blog a visit here. For more info on where to buy these kits, please 

visit the Scraps of Elegance store here. And if you're looking for some

inspiration, you can find our blog here.

I loved the Prima Art Ingredients Frosted Mica Flakes that also came with this month's kit,

they gave a shimmer that sort of looks like water, very pretty in the sunlight.

Thanks for looking,

have a wonderful week..
