Scrapping Everyday Miracles Challenge #18

 
 Hello blogger friends, just a quick post to show you my layout for Scrapping Everyday Miracles  challenge #18.  The challenge this month was to scrap about created beauty, about the things I see around me, everyday, that remind me that God created everything. Although I don't see the ocean everyday, when I do I am always in awe of God's "bigness" and how amazing all the details of creation are. For my layout I started with a piece of cardstock. I used a Prima mask and some distress ink on the background. My letters and other chipboard are covered in WOW Embossing Powder (I got hooked on those last week!) We had to have stitching on our page as part
of the challenge. I totally forgot this until I was finished so I went
 back and added a little faux stitching with some rub-ons. I love the peacefulness of this layout, makes me want to go back to California! Thanks for dropping by,
