Challenge #1 Nautic

Welcome to Live & Love Crafts' 1st Challenge!!!

We're so glad you stopped by and we do hope that you'll join us for our first challenge.
We've got the perfect summer theme for you; Nautic.

For our challenge you can create whatever you heart desires as long as it fits the theme; scrapbook layouts, cards, tags, gift boxes, paper bags, altered items...whatever floats your boat!
