Notes & Totes Bundle and a Beachy Theme!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is this photo that just gives me the urge to drive right to the beach or the ocean!

I used the Notes & Totes Bundle and look at the sandy beach layer, I used sand paper!

I cut a layer of sand paper and then gave it the torn look by tearing across. I also filled my tote bag with some goodies:
