At the ocean | Pretty Little Studio

Happy Sunday everyone! This morning I realized I haven't shared my take on Pretty Little Studio's August sketch challenge from 3 weeks ago. And although it's actually more than 3 weeks ago there's still time to play! So let me show you the sketch and what I did with it. 

As soon as I saw it, the ideas started coming. I decided to use the Treasure Island collection once again (can’t get enough of this one) and created a little “collage” of a some beach photos in Picasa and printed those (size 4.5 x 4.5”). For the size of my page I chose 8.5 x 11”, which I find perfect for the 8 x 8” papers. 

The strips are mostly leftovers from other layouts and I was so glad I always keep each and every snippet of paper when I’m finished with a project! They always come in handy! 

I really love the result and I sure will pin this fun sketch for future use.

A few more close-ups:
