Do you have any Penpals?

Or perhaps you did have penpals as a child? I sure did! I think I was constantly writing a letter for a whole bunch of years. I had MANY penpals. Finding a new letter in the mailbox was soooo exciting.

Penpal is also the name of the August kit from Cocoa Daisy. It's a kit perfect for scrapping the big and small adventures of summer - like our journey earlier this summer. We travelled far, far up north in Sweden.

The views in the mountans were amazing, even when the weather was cloudy. I love this photo of the kids together.

We did go to the beach, but the weather wasn't exactly perfect for swimming. :) Instead the beach had the best stones for skipping stones. Linus was fab at it! I mostly used the DITL kit here. The cork shapes are lovely. 

Also this one was made using the DITL kit. Tuva drinking the cold water running down the mountain. The paper with the mountains is from the patterned paper add on. 

We also found some snow to play in. Such a strange feeling, in the middle of summer. I used the main kit plus the Simple Stories cardstock stickers sheet, from the BYOAO. 

I also created this layout of Tuva blowing kisses... :) I love the exclusive paper designed by Arleigh so much (the one below the photo)!
