 Another page from my 2011 Mini Album! We had the best day at Pensacola Beach! My Husband and I laughed when we realized we could have been a beach family since we are both from Long Island. We ended up in Arizona and we are now a desert family. We joked about how different our lives would be if we stayed on the island:

Surfing Waves VS Hiking Mountains 

Riding Dolphins VS Riding Horses

Collecting Shells VS Collecting Rocks

Sandy Butts VS Hot Feet

Sand Crabs VS Scorpions

Sorry I was Crabby!

I planned on making a summer lay-out for my Smash book but decided to make a fun card instead!
I used my sewing machine! I plan on making space in my craft room because right now I have to haul it out of the closet and use it on the dining room table so it never gets used. It is going on my to do list!

Beach Vacation! A page from my Smash Book!

I am addicted to making pages for my smashbook! I wanted to make a page for the last day of our vacation from this year. We spent it at New Port Beach. The water was Freezing! We stayed there the whole day laying in the sun, watching the dolphins swim, walking and eating on the pier.

We took an AMAZING summer vacation this year! Georgia, Alabama, and Florida! This is one trip I do not want to forget so I decided to make a scrap book of our trip! EEEK my first one!


We spent the day at the beach so I plan on making a page for that fun beach day!

So to start I made this library pocket card using my Gypsy, shells from stretch your imagination, wave from Sizzix and liquid pearls.
I made a tag and added a colored index card to use for my journaling. I already have the page planned in my head so this is a perfect start!
