Seaside Serenity - Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge no.72 / FabScraps Beach Bliss

Hello Everyone

Welcome to 01 April.

I can't believe 3 months of the year have already passed.

Today is also a special day...10 years ago today, hubby and I were married.

Happy Anniversary sweets!!!

So glad that we made 10 years and are still together! ;-)

Hopefully there's another 50 in store.

Also, there is a new challenge up at Scrap Africa.

It's a sketch challenge.

Here was my take on the sketch.

I used the gorgeous Beach Bliss Collection from FabScraps.

Here's a few close-ups.

This is actually a photo of my sister on Umhloti Beach a few years ago.

Well hopefully you can play along with our challenge and pop over to see the amazing inspiration from the Guest Designer and the Design Team.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you have an awesome day!
