FabScraps -Beachcomber Collection On the Pier Layout

FabScraps Beachcomber Collection - Get your's here!

FabScraps introduces it's newest collection - freshly released at CHA 2014.  This is Beachcomber. So very peaceful and refreshing. I am having fun using this collection and pulling out my beachside images, especially when all the water around me is frozen and we are currently in "ice fishing" and "ice skating" season. 

FabScraps also has so rockin great chipboard pieces to accompany this collection. 

I used the pier chipboard piece and positioned my niece on the FabScraps pier.  Then I built the foreground with  deco-sand and shells and web weave trim.   Love this web weave trim.  

I have some simple instructions for creating this layout if you scroll down. 

Thanks for stopping for a look.   Visit FabScraps blog and Facebook page for all the new releases.
