Something New

Stuck Between a Rock and Hard Place

For those of you who don't already know, my biggest inspirations when doing my layouts are my kids, great photos (of my kids) and amazing papers. I snapped this great photo of my son climbing on the rocks at the beach and when I went to scrap it, couldn't think of any other embellishment to use other than... rocks! I've never really seen another layout done using real rocks so I thought I'd give it a go.

Turned out pretty well - aside from the total weight of the layout (LOL)! I used some eyelets along the sides and strung some twine through to bring the piece together better. The beaver embellishment is actually cut from a clothing tag (Roots) and I thought it tied in well with the outdoorsy/rustic feel.
