Good morning all,

Leanne here with you for this week sharing our fabulous creations using Rock Pool.  Such a fun range of papers and embellishments to go with all those water/beach photos that you have lying around.  The colours in this range are so wonderful and will compliment your photos perfectly.

“Life’s a Beach” Layout by Leanne Love

Rock Pool:  Seaweed (P834), Sand (P936), Collectables rock pool (CT713) Collectables sea friends (CT714), Paper Pad (PP868)
Other: Brown Ink (IP708) Kraft cardstock

Leanne says “I love these photos of Jacob out on the water.  Being a quiet child and having Aspergers Syndrome means that he never usually participates in anything. This day was the exception,  he finally decided to have a go.  It was totally priceless seeing the smile on his face.  Scrapping this photo was very easy using the Rock Pool papers as they all worked so well together. I have so many other beach/water photos that are going to go so well with this awesome range of papers and embellishments.”

Lori says ” In honor of Mother’s Day I couldn’t think of anyone better to honor than my Great Grandmother, Maggie.  She was such a strong, fiesty, loving woman that I’d like to think I take after.  One thing I never doubted was her love for all of us children.  If I had been blessed with a baby girl I would have named her Maggie.
I used the Magnolia Grove and the new Timeless Basic Collection which work really well together and are perfect for those vintage photos.  It makes me want to go drag all my old family photos out and start scrapping. ”
