My tag this week is very simple, but I must say the searching for the right image is the time consuming part. I know I have great beach side pictures that I have taken, but have to ask: where have I put the darn things? I searched the Internet for images and then thought very seriously to myself, you of all people must have something of your own. Well I found a 1930 Blackies Children's Annual that I had bought at a church bazaar last year, and found the beautiful picture I used for my tag. I was not 100% sure I wanted to use that so I searched and found a great postcard of these mischievous boys in the surf and thought I would use that. Alas, it was not printing on the water colour paper I wanted so I went back to my first choice(should always just leave it at that). I have a very vintage Bobbsey Twins on the Deep Blue Sea book and used the text from there (I too, am aghast, but the book is falling apart!). Hats made from 7 gypsies paper, fibre from Basic Grey, a vintage stamp with shell from Nippon ( I couldn't believe I had one of those!) and some glitter of course. Enjoy the week at the Seaside!
Hugs,
Ivy
