Since everyone is getting into the full swing of summer, here in the United States, I thought I would share this altered frame, with one of my favorite beach pictures of my husband and me.
The chipboard chair, umbrella and sentiment are from Twiddleybitz, and I embossed them using some of my favorite Suzy West colors - Cotton Candy, Bubblegum and Earthtone Pepper.
To make the polka dots on the umbrella, I added mini glue dots over the already heated blue base, then sprinkled pink over the glue dots and embossed. It's really a quick and easy was to create dots on your projects.
It's time to hop on to Jan's blog and see what she has cooked up for you! You've got a week to get your comments in . Have a great weekend!

I just recently learned about WOW products when they were showcased over at Paper Crafter's Library a couple of weeks ago and I have been dying to try them since then. Thank you for participating in the blog hop and giving me the chance to win some of WOW's great products to use on my own projects.
Have a terrific weekend!
Hi Gini, what a great idea to use glue dots! Never thought of it. Now it's on my list for today. I like the bright Wow! colors, but I also love pepper (and my sons favorite is glow-in-the-dark ;-)
