Grid It Up Challenge

Grid It Up Challenge, a photo by HikerCynthia on Flickr.

OK, so in looking at everyone else's grids, I believe I may have played loose and free with the latest challenge on Shimelle's blog. ;-)

Ahem.

I tried.

And I really like how this one came out.

Except for the seriously wonky letters.

Sigh.

Morris Island Lighthouse has stood since 1876 off the coast of South Carolina and the island it stands on has slowly eroded over the years. In 2007, a group called Save the Light began raising money to preserve and restore the lighthouse. That's why I have "HOPE" on the top of this page.

ETA: The HOPE tag was based on a tutorial I had seen on Shelly Hickox's blog site, StampTramp. When I posted page, I couldn't remember where I had seen the technique done. Sorry, Shelly! Her site is ShellyHickox dot blogspot dot com

Paper: Lily Bee (Audrey--Graceful); Bazzill (blue, white and brown cardstock)
