White with 1 ~ Holidays at Grandads

Hello on this hot, hot day in Australia, boy we need some rain badly. Hope you are managing to keep cool wherever you are. I have brought my computer outside to post this, to hot in my little office
I was inspired by Janice Nicholls http://janicenicholls.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/love-having-my-feet-in-water.html to join in the White with 1 Challenge http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/, first time for me.
The layout is about when my children were young we used to go to the South Coast to have holidays with their Grandad. He lived in a caravan park, so sometimes we stayed in the caravan and sometimes we would take our tent and camp. It was always good times and they enjoyed swimming at the beach, fishing, hanging out with their cousins and going to the pool.



Now I wanted to use texture paste with the Crafters Template to make the waves and so thought that would be good on the blue and then added splashes of red. The colours of the challenge


~WW1 JANUARY CHALLENGE~

WHITE + COLOUR SWATCH (AQUA + RED) + SUMMER PHOTO


So that is how the layout started to take shape. I scrapped into the wee hours of the morning, woke up and thought Shite! WHITE WITH 1 ! Out came the trimmer, trimmed the bottom, one side and adhered to WHITE cardstock. I am a bit slow to catch on sometimes :) so hope this passes the Criteria. Now some closies
The little clouds are Amy Tangerine


My waves and I have added kindy glitz which you may not be able to see clearly, and thats for sand and some washi and thens muslin for the foam



A little banner and some stamping



Some punched stars with some kindy glitz

A Kaiser tag underneath and a Amy Tangerine over the top
