You Brighten My Life


I wanted to play along with the current Lawnscaping Challenge: Texture sponsored by Lawn Fawn so I decided to create an island in the ocean with surf, sand, and sunshine! To get things started I applied some Be Creative (Sookwang) double-stick tape to a scrap of kraft paper and die cut a sand mound and the bucket and shovel using the Life is Good Lawn Cuts.  After it was cut, I removed the liner paper from the tape and applied sand to both pieces.  I used one of the dies from the Stitched Scalloped Borders Lawn Cuts turned upside down and covered with glossy accents for my surf.  The sunshine is from Spring Showers Lawn Cuts and the bucket with shovel and the sentiment are from the Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set, all tied together with Lawn Trimmings Coral Single Cord onto the Stitched Party Banners Lawn Cuts!
