Welcome to the  Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop,  we are  group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.

You will have either arrived from Jo’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME.  This month our theme is “SUMMER’

Like last month I have chosen to use a 8 x 6 page, I really enjoyed making that size plus I was able to use the Basic Black 6 x 8 Album with the coordinating photo pocket Pages again.

For the first time in many years my husband and I took a trip to the Texas Gulf coast last month. I am not one for beach holidays but we did spend a morning walking along a pretty, deserted beach, looking at all the items the tide had bought in, seaweed and shells were some of the things we found, so that was the inspiration for my summer themed page today.

It made perfect sense to use the Friends are Like Seashells Stamp Set with coordinating Seaside Seashells dies with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped each of the shells on Very Vanilla Card then cut with the dies then ran thru the Cut and Emboss Machine with the embossing folder which gives lots of dimension to each of the shells. I inked up the edges of each with Blending Brushs then added lashings of Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (which really does not come thru on this picture)

I used Balmy Blue card attached to Sahara Sand Card for my base, then tore a rough edge to another piece of Sahara Sand card, used the dotty stamp from the stamp set to create the effect of sand. My ink colors are Petal Pink and Sahara Sand.
