Bath Time Fun

This layout was made for the Peartree Cutfile Design Team challenge. A free cutfile to use to create a challenge layout of your choice.

I used the freebie 'Raindrops' cutfile by cutting it twice. Both my papers are Pinkfresh Studio:
Indigo Hills 2 collection - Eminence for the background and Just A Little Lovely - Around here for the drops and title.
 
The title is cut from Tim Holtz BIGZ XL 'Handmade' die.
I added Nuvo Glitter drops to the water drops

This Was So Much Fun

It seems if you give children water to play with, they will be happy for hours, and in this case you get the patio cleaned at the same time!! Note my son Andrew in charge of the hose while the girls do the hard work! This photo was taken in the garden in the summer of 1999.

The layout was made for the April Peardrop Crop Challenge 'Jump in Puddles' - scrap about water or getting wet. It was also used for a DAF challenge to use 5 old things from your stash

 

5 old things from your stash:
Kaisercraft Mermaid tails paper & 49 & Market Vintage Market
Watch Crystals
Doodlebug Stickers
Rubons
Gem Sequins
