Journaling says: This was Fox's first time at the beach since he started having opinions of his own. At first he really didn't like touching the sand or having it all over him, but it didn't take long for him to find some toys to distract him from being "messy." Then he was loving it! Our very own little beach bum :)

How to: Drop white mist across a dark navy cardstock background. Place a double photo on the bottom right side and trace three concentric circles around it (I used a bowl and two different sized plates as templates). Punch pinked circles (four from each chosen patterned paper) and lightly adhere the layers together then onto the page over the circles. Stitch over the circles and punches using white thread. Top a few of the circles with a sequin. Add a title using Thickers and letter stickers and journal on three of the circles. Place a couple of label stickers and a flower sticker on the bottom right corner, trim the excess, and call it good!
