Sand Man

This months challenge at White With 1 is to use White with Navy/Royal blue and Banners. I am having a little love affair with banners at the moment (LOL) so thought I would play along. Here is my layout:

That pp is navy but it showing up more like black in this photo. :? When we went away back in November last year, we took the kids to the beach. Lachlan wanted to be buried in the sand so Luke started covering him and then got a little carried away! He turned him into a giant sand muscle man (not sure what's going on with the legs though!)

I have used a bit of Glimmermist, OA and Pink Paislee papers, and string. For the title I traced around some Pink Paislee chipboard letters to make my own from the OA patterned paper. It's a great way to save the chipboard alphas for another layout - you never seem to get enough of the letters you use the most!

And once again there is a lot of doodling.
You may have seen by post below about one of my layouts appearing on the Crate Paper blog. If you go and leave a comment on the blog telling them that mine was your favourite you can win a prize pack. And if I get the most votes I can win a little something too. I would very much appreciate it. ;)
Thanks so much for stopping by and for any comments you may leave.
