HI Friends! Yep, I FINALLY scrapped! YEAH!
The inspiration for my layout is a pic of my Dad taken in the early 80's. He loved the ocean even though he lived in the landlocked Midwest! He fell in love with it during World War 2 while serving in the navy. I think it gave him some calm & peace during such turbulent times. We lost my Dad in 1989. I miss him all the time & love remembering....
I have details on my blog if you would like to take a peek! I also posted a short"how to" on how to make the netting! It is so simple & easy please check it out!
thanks for your visit!
