The Exuberance of Youth

Wonderful page, Jill! I really love that rope as a frame around the photo and the cluster in the corner is so lovely. The stitching around the page look fantastic too.

The skewed rope stapled to the frame is made all the more fab by your addition of net and charms, and that funky...weed? The dark stitched edging is terrific, too. Another childhood moment captured marvelously.

Oh the energy and enthusiasm of youth! Bennie sure does get a kick out of life.
Love the addition of the rope frame that centers on him...the journaling adds feelings and info for the memory nudges...and all the marvelous themed beach elements that enhance the occasion.
You know...I think WE can do this. I mean if one of us does the kick and the other one holds the leg up...but we need to be quick...and be willing to pick the sand out of our knickers once we "face" the inevitable beach.

The rope frame is such a creative touch. I really enjoyed reading your journaling as well.

Yes, that Pin does remind me of that too! Great layout! Wonderful photo capture of the "jump" as well. The net is a perfect addition and I adore the stitching too! Thank you for playing the Pinterest Challenge here at GingerScraps!

I love the framing of the pic with the layering and the rope! The charms are positively charming!' Nice use of stitching around the edge with those nice edge thingies. GREAT use of netting and scatters. Your title work is, as always, fabbity.>>
