Nothing screams fun in the sun for me more than an awesome cruise on the Pacific Ocean down to Mexico!! So this layout was perfect for this blog hop.
I purchased this kit many years ago from a Scrapbook Expo and it has just been sitting on my shelf waiting for that special moment. So what better moment than this hop?

 
I know what you are thinking...why buy a kit like this when I own a Cricut? Well...because I bought this a long time ago. Long before I mastered my Cricut. I know that I could recreate this layout now. And you know maybe I will. So stay tuned...LOL!
For now check out these close ups.
 

Lots of hand (faux) stitching.
And white twine on the life preserver.

 

I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!

Happy Crafting and Scrappy Hugs,


 Don't miss out on the challenge for August...
