Family Fun In The Sun

Just wanted to pop on and share a project I made for the progressive challenge over at SBS Friends.  This month there was a choice of images and I went with Beach Family and decided that rather than just making a card I made a little photo/scrap album.  The background is just a piece out of an old road atlas, I framed the image, which was coloured with copics and chameleons, to look like a Polaroid and added a stamped sentiment from PTI.  The little postcard is a print and cut with the Cricut, the film strip is a sizzix die cut, a couple of little wooden bits a sticker and fabric sticker added and all finished off with ribbons along the top.  Had fun with this.
