Other: Nuvo crystal drops; American Crafts marker and glitter Thickers.

Swim lessons

It's been a while since I made my own embellishments...

I later added a red button to the right side of this banner because I thought it was missing something...

This layout was inspired by Creative Scrappers' sketch # 306, which I rotated counter-clockwise and expanded to a 2-pager:
