Yay! My first LO from last week's Cape Cod trip last week. I have over 350 photos, and while I don�t plan to scrap all of them, I am going to incorporate lots of photo collages for simplicity. I love how this sketch lent itself to a collage.
I die-cut the red paper with my Silhouette. I had the idea to use the netting; found some at HL and it REEKS of dead fish! Turns out, it's "genuine used fishing net". It�s awful, but it looks so cool. I just stapled it to the LO and hot glued the stickers. (Wish I had more crab stickers, and didn't like what I found in the Sil store -- too cute-sy.)

Journaling reads: Jack and Luke were so excited to take you crabbing. You were hesitant to climb on the jetty at first, but they really helped you get comfortable on the rocks. It wasn�t the instant gratification you�d hoped for but you had tons of fun. [bottom] I am so proud of how brave you were on this trip!

	By Dancinirish90 10-Aug-12 First, this title made me LOL. Second, I love how you arranged the net. So cool. I know what you mean about the little crab - I think I still have some of those, and I almost used one on the LO I did the other day with net. My thing was the little starfish - I wanted them for some Pacific Ocean LO's a did a while back, and I ended up spending over $30 on Jolee embellies just so I could pick the little starfish out - and didn't use most of the rest of the packages. Hopefully someday they will work on something else.
