Quiet book: Sandcastle page

The first completed page of Miss L's quiet book. This page was made from one of Stephanie's templates at imagineourlife. If you are thinking of making your own quiet book and need inspiration, it's well worth a trip to her site, she has some really amazing ideas - definitely a leading authority on quiet books.

I pretty much stayed to the pattern, although I did use slightly different felt colours to the ones suggested: I used cream for the sand, natural for the castles and tan for the doors and windows and the roofs. I changed the bucket colour to pink to make it more girlie with red rick rack stripes and swapped some silver cord for the handle instead of the felt. And I accidentally cut 2 extra 'towers' - but all the more for the kids to play with, lol!

It turned out perfectly, now just to work on the other pages :)
