Parksville Castles

 

I just checked out Practical Scrappers and saw how on one of the DT LOs they used a paper border of striped paper. Well I believe it took me oh, 2 hours of being home before I had to scraplift it! I kept in mind that Practical Scrappers challenge is to use your Die-cuts this week -so I pulled out my Top-note and found yet another way to use it! I LOVE that die just as much as I love going to Parksville every year to check out the amazing sand castles /sand sculptures they have a sculpting competition every year. I also challenged myself to pull out my new Magpie kit. It is Januaryʼs kit, however because I only visit my house every few weeks I went down on the 23rd and it was there!! Although I was super stoked to get into it, I needed to finish up the projects I had in mind before I came into the kit!!
