Beach House Gust Book

Finished

It feels so good to finish a project. This one was very dear to me and alot of work went into this. It is not perfect but I am happy with it. I look forward to seeing what our guests will write and to adding some photos of our fun times with them this summer. I am hoping one of the guests names will be the Small's from Delaware(.... hint hint). Too many pictures to post so I made a slide show. Have a wonderful Saturday! Ps: Have you heard about this new site? One more place for me to follow. http://www.thescrapreview.com Launches tomorrow and has some give aways planned for the week, which who woulldn't love a chance to win something?....

I am out of my box....

and into stamping. I will admit I don't do this often. I feel like I am in first grade again with all the stamping, coloring and cutting. It's fun. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what works and doesn't. Definitely need to sit down with Kathie at Bella Art. Copic Markers are the way to go for coloring stamps these days and I haven't taken the plunge yet with them. Using what I have (2 years and dusty) water colors and a paintbrush.
I woke up this morning with a great idea for the back cover of the book and am excited to finish decorating some pages and get to work on my ideas.
Happy Thursday!
