Today I worked on an 8 1/2" x 11" page for a challenge from Pixels and Paper.  The challenge was to use the following image as inspiration.

I felt mostly inspired by the bright pink and the way the sand looks and lays so I incorporated torn paper into my design to mimic the sand.  The photo also reminds me of the picture.  It was taken a couple summers ago at my town's Ribfest when my college roommate came down to visit and go to the carnival.  We clearly had a blast!  I don't think that the full photo is a good representation of the page since I take my photos on my phone and you can't see the textured papers I used so I tried to take some close ups of some of my favorite elements on the page.  I am quite pleased with how it turned out and I was able to use a bunch of scrap die-cuts my mom gave me over break.

In keeping with the sand theme I also saw this video a couple of days ago that I thought people might enjoy watching.  The art is beautiful and cool to watch being made so enjoy it as a little tidbit!
