Pearly Sparkles -This Makes Me Smile

              Hello and welcome. Today at Pearly Sparkles, Larelyn has chosen for the monthly challenge -                   This Makes Me Smile. To see the creative interpretations from the design team, please visit the blog. 

Apart from my family, my next thought of what makes me smile, is the beach and the sea. Trips to the coast, are my happy, fun days, even on cold wet days. I am lucky to live within an hour's drive to some of the North of England's best beaches. I recently received a kit from Hunkydory called Coastal Charm. I have used designs from the Little Book and a few pages from the 8 x 8 inches paper pad. I first began making a 7" x 5" white easel card and decorated the front and base with the papers. The fussy cut shells are positioned with foam pads to act as the stopper for the easel.The sentiment is an old one from my stash added to the sand. I look forward to seeing what makes you smile over the next month. Take care.
