Thinking Summer

Spring Break started a day early last week. I was supposed to teach and have one last class on Wednesday, but we had a blizzard roll through the area. We got about 8 inches on Wednesday. So I had to stay in town an extra day before I could head home. This was our second snow day of the school year for the university. Last year we didn't have any snow days, so I happily will take them.



 So I had to work on at least 1 scrappy page. And I was thinking anything warm at that point. I found one last set of beach pictures that I wanted to use up. We had such a fun day. The beach was deserted and the water was a bit choppy. It never stops my sister and I from swimming in the waves. I actually like it when the water is a little rough. I seemed to use the same Echo Park paper line throughout all of my Door County pictures for Summer of 2011. I really love their happy and bright colors.


I cut the circles on the bottom from the Echo Park paper, and mounted them with a foam pop dot to give them some dimension. I blinged them up with some Stickles, and then framed my kraft paper with some Doodlebug twine. 


I did make it home for spring break safe and sound...and just in time. The day after I left another blizzard rolled into town. This time they got nailed with 18 inches. The town just west of us got 27 inches. I was a little sad not to see all the snow, but then I remember that it took an hour to dig my car out of 8 inches on Thursday morning. I cannot imagine how buried my car would have been with this storm. Tomorrow I am taking an alcohol inks class at my local scrapbook store. Can't wait to show you my creations!
