EVERY SUMMER HAS A STORY

Good Evening,

Tonight I would like to share with you my layout for a challenge I have set over at Soul Scrappers. Being a lover of quotes and verses that is my role at Soul Scrappers , to each month set a quote challenge. This month my challenge is about the seasons and here is my layout


Every Summer has a Story



I am not even sure where I read/heard this, but I thought it went perfectly with the layout of my Daughter in Law watching the family swim on a few days holiday together in January.
I have journalled on the tag and slipped beside the photo.
"Our story of the summer of Jan 2016 ~ We are happy to simply be spending time together , enjoying the sea and each others company after Belinda going through a horror year of  Breast Cancer, surgery and chemo. As a family we are closer than ever and enjoy every day moments and being together even more. Celebrating life and each other and coming out the other side stronger."
I have used a mask , texture paste and mists to create a sea background with splashes of white mists . Thread and netting and the flair is from StudioFourteen40.  I have also used the stamp of the two swimmers which is a fave of mine.
Thank you for calling by and may you enjoy all your every day moments.

Love , Peace and Kindness
Mary x

A serene Summer page - lovely with the textured waves you created. You are right to cherish each moment, especially after the health scare and treatment for your DIL. Makes me aware to take time to smell the roses. :D
