I combined two challenges Teapot Tuesdays request to help poor Mary get back all her pictures from her travels. While not one of her houses that she stayed in, this was a lovely picture of the children at the house by the sea bringing in the clams for dinner! Ways to use it For Crayon out loud - was to use crayons in some way. I decided to just get out the old box of 64 and color like I was a kid. There is a special smell to crayons that brings me back to my childhood.
New- I edited this and the details on stamps and stuff all got blown away: Image is Mo's Digital Pencil (The clam diggers), Sentiment is PSX. DP is digi paper from Birds Cards. Shells - Jolee's boutique. Flowers - Recollections. I have no idea who made the sandcastle border punch but I love it!

What a sweet image! Love that you used crayons to color it, and the border in the background is perfect!

Your card is both cute and beautiful. Love the sweet image.
Great paper and those clouds just stand out, the sand castle border is perfect for the beach scene. You have colored the adorable image wonderfully. Great job.

I envy you your pack of 64 crayons - I think my pack is ten or twelve, rather limiting. Beautiful soft colouring with a nostalgic palette perfect to go with your image and sentiment.
