Sweet Dreams in the Caribbean

I don't usually start a layout with a title but ever since I saw a song challenge over at Scrap Friendzy, I had the song from the Eurythmics stuck in my head so I had to use it for a title - all it took was looking for the perfect picture to go with it!  This photo is from a trip we took to the Caribbean last year.  During that trip, we took a catamaran from St Kitts to Nevis - Alex was in heaven (though she hates the photo and threatened harm if I posted this on my blog)! 

The recipe for this and challenges I am entering are below the picture.




This was the sketch inspiration from My Creative Time:


This was the photo inspiration from Lasting Memories:


Challenges:

Recipe:
  • Paper = My Minds Eye (Stella & Rose and Lime Twist)
  • Cardstock = Co'Ordinations
  • Yellow Chevron Ribbon = May Arts
  • Pearl Brads = My Minds Eye Indie Chic
  • Flowers = Michael's and My Mind's Eye
  • Letters = Thickers and die cut on Cricut using a variety of fonts in SCAL
  • Embossing on "This" = Indian Corn embossing powder (really cool multi-colored embossing powder)
  • Buttons = My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose
  • Twine = hemp cord from Hobby Lobby
  • Journaling mat - both the circle and the scalloped circle were cut on Cricut using SCAL
  • Scalloped border = cut on Cricut using SCAL
