Snorkeling fun!

I was having too much fun with my Cosmo Cricket "Snorkel" papers, so when I finished the framed design, I decided to cut a few more squares and make a layout. This is Alex doing a bit of shark and fishie watching at Shark's Reef in Typhoon Lagoon. I LOVE "swimming with the fishes" there but the water is painfully cold so after making one trip across, I got out and took a few photos of Alex and Brett as they went back around to go again. I love this shot of Alex because it makes you just want to get in there with him.

Here's the coolest thing about this page - do you see the letters that spell "alex"? well on the Snorkel sticker sheet they have letters that spell "relax" which is just Alex with an "r"! Cool Huh?! The title is cut from gold thick corduroy. Another fun thing is that I normally never buy the varigated colored embroidery floss but this one had such nice tones of blue and green that I had to have it, and it worked great with my splashes here. But don't splash in the Shark's Reef! It upsets the sharks.:)
















Yes, this is the other half of my previous snorkeling page. I couldn't have possibly fit one more photo on the first page. I will add it here just for fun because I love the Mickey in his little matching swim trunks. LOL

Just LOVE this page!!! The little squares at the bottom are so clever. I will have to try that. I always find new ideas on your pages that inspire me!

Love this. That embroidery thread is perfect. Is that machine or hand stitching? Beautiful job. Love the papers.
