Creative Scrappers Challenge #124

I made this layout last night for a challenge over at Creative Scrappers!

This picture was taken when my hubby and I went to Turks and Caicos earlier this year! We rented a car and drove to the very, very end of the island! There was a dock with this hammock and picnic table....oh, and miles of ocean! We hung out for awhile, soaked up the sun, and took some cute shots! A great place to kick back and relax! Wonderful memories!
