{Go Outside}

I love this picture of my son fishing on our boat for the first time. He just looks truly happy, exactly what a kid should be in summer. I used this photo as an opportunity to use some of my camping and outdoor themed products. I wanted the background to be pretty neutral so the beautiful colors in the photo would stand out. 

I loved this stamp from my Scraptastic July PL kit. He really was "Happy, Happy, Happy"!

I also stamped a border of words that I got in my July Card Kit from Studio Calico.

Then I stamped this anchor using my gesso. It turned out great and added a little texture and dimension.
