Layout - Riding Waves in Cuba!

While we were in Cuba one of the things I just had to do was Swim with the Dolphins!  So my Brother, Sister-in-law and I decided to take a boat out into the middle of the ocean to a Dolphin Sanctuary where we could get into water with them - I have to say... I was a little scared once it came to time to get into the water but this was such a cool thing to do!  Here I used some Echo Park - Paradise Beach to create a layout to remember this very special moment of our Trip to Cuba! 

Since it was a Sunny Day when went I included the Sun Sticker from the Sticker Element Sheet and wanted it to shine and sparkle a bit so I took some orange buttons and spray glued them then added a little Glamour Dust Glitter to them before attaching them to the centre of the Sun!

I also found this cute little Dolphin Cut and Echo Park Wave in the Silhouette Store and cut them from some of the patterned paper in the same Echo Park Paradise Beach line.  Of course I could not resist adding a little sparkle to this little guy so used some stickles on him.

I decided to use 3 different letter stickers to create the title and could not resist adding the waves and starfish stickers from the Sticker Sheet.
