Every year, I look forward to a fun family summer beach vacation. My daughter Meredith loves to surf so I scrapped a layout featuring a photograph of her that was taken while on a summer beach vacation. I surrounded her with Nautical Blueprint images:
as well as Mini Sand and Sea Grungeboard embellishments, Spring Greenery and a MINI TATTERED FLORAL Blossom:

You always have such an imaginative way of combining elements! I would've never thought to put sea creatures with flowers, but it looks amazing! Great patchwork look, too, and I love the subtle pastel palette.
