Seaside memories

Although I have lived by the sea for most of my life, I wasn't sure what to do for this tag. Then I remembered that Mum and Dad had a load of photos of seaside holidays from before we lived by the seaside. Last week was a 'big' birthday for me (40, but don't tell anyone!) and Dad had put together a series of photos to play on our digital photo frame. Thanks Dad! I've used three of them in my Seaside Memories tag.

I've made this a four layer tag.

 The top layer is some ink sketches of things I really associate with the seaside, including my orange bunny bucket, which I'm clutching in the top photo. I was about 1 in this picture and walking along Broadstairs seafront with my Dad and Nanny.
My sketches also included a cardigan, as I always seems to remember wearing a swimming costume and a cardigan on the beach. You can see this in the second photo where I'm building a sandcastle with my Dad and little sister, aged about 9.This is probably at Camber Sands. Sandcastles usually involved a moat which emptied as fast as you could fill it, but if you were lucky you could get your flipflops to float, they always reminded me of speedboats.
The final photo shows me aged about 15, now a seaside resident of Eastbourne, writing in a rare bit of sand. (Do I have to admit that I was writing Bros? That gives my age, and dodgy taste in music away completely!) I've included my cool shades from that picture in my sketches - I LOVED those shades so much.
Here's the tag all layered up with sand and blue ribbons and a white cardigan button, just to remind me!
