Perfect fror amny fun loving activities and especially children's layouts - which is what I have done!

That's all for today, back with more from this kit soon.

Peartree's 5th Birthday Celebrations: Challenge One - A Day At The Beach

Here is my layout for the Peartree Cutfile - 5th Birthday Challenge #1 - The challenge is to use 5 photos on your layout. The photos I chose, were taken on a day out to Southwold Beach. Flo's first experience on a sandy beach.



Some stash busting here - I used two papers from Studio Light, together with scraps of woodgrain paper, from my stash.

Here is the cutfile I used from Peartree, I cut this from Coastal Bazzill cardstock. 

I used three brads on the cutfile to hang the banner. I added some words using Doodlebug Designs, Alphabet Soup Puffy Letters in Mint. 

The acrylic seagulls are also from Peartree Cutfiles 'Bits & Pieces range.
