LIFE IS GOOD AT THE BEACH Layout (More Than Words DT - July Main Challenge)

Is it July yet!?

Well, yes, it is, and I am one happy lady!

I love the month of July with its warm and sunshiny days.

And of course, we have a brand new Main Challenge

over at More Than Words that will be sure to inspire you!

Here is my take on it:

Here is the July MTW Main Challenge:

Word Inspiration - BEACH

Creative Challenge - SEASHELLS

You can find all you need to know about this challenge and the fabulous prizes

up for grabs as well as inspiration from the very talented MTW DT right HERE.

This month's word was fairly easy to scrap for me as I am lucky enough 

to live about a 5 minute drive from the Atlantic ocean, so you can say 

that the BEACH is almost at my doorstep. It's a place where I go 

to seek peace, harmony and sunshine.

I incorporated the creative challenge on my layout by adding 

some Dusty Attic chipboard SEASHELLS.

As mentioned above, all the chipboard on my page are from Dusty Attic.

I used a combination of embossing powders and several paints on them.

I love this photo and how it represents my love of the beach.

I used cheesecloth on my page to create a wavy frothy effect, just like the waves 

of the ocean, and added some Lindy's spray by misting it and also creating 

some circle pattern by dipping the cap into it and using it as a stamp. 

I used some kraft paper stickers and tags, reminding me of the colour of sand,

to go along with the different shades of blue of my background paper.

I love how this layout turned out.

I hope that it inspires you to play along with us at More Than Words this month!
