Babies First Beach Album ~ Canvas Corp Brands

I was laughing at myself.... 

as the focus of my design work has TOTALLY changed 

since the arrival of my grandson. 

I have to say, it is a bit of a stretch as 

I love all things.....flowers! 

WARNING....You may need to sit down as this creation 

has not a flower on it!! Let it not be said that I didn't try though....

My grandson recently had his first trip to the beach.

Though I don't have the photos yet I thought

I would get a jump on things and create a mini album.

The base of my mini is
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Burlap Scrapbook ~ 6x6.

I wet the edges of the burlap and painted on a bit of
Tattered Angels ~ Chalkboard ~ Cornflower Daze.
I also painted the Cornflower Daze on the binding.

First, I created a compass using
7gypsies ~ Optical Lenses ~ Antique Brass,
a spinner, a compass from 7gypsies ~ Maritime ~ Mini Ephemera,
topped with 7gypsies ~ Studs ~ Dome ~ Antique Brass.
I placed it on a
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Mini Shapes ~ Circle.
I had stamped
with Cornflower Blue ~ Archival Ink using
7gypsies ~ Vintage Stamps.

I used other pieces from the

7gypsies ~ Maritime ~ Mini Ephemera.

I can't WAIT to get my pictures so I can finish off my album!!

Hope you are having a wonderful summer
and are taking LOTS OF PICTURES
so you too can create your own
Burlap Scrapbook!
