This is for my first scrap challenge: The Sweet Shoppe Recipe Challenge #27

Credits:
Paper and Stitch: All Organic Kit by Kay Miller @ KMD
Black and white paper: real photo of the mosaic way of the Copacabana Beach
Blue Paper -> Shimmer Edges by Kristin Cronin-Barrow
Text Patch by Jen Caputo @ Scrapbook Graphics

I'll put the entire journalism in here, but it's only because it is in Portuguese and I don't want to see you curious, frustrated or mad wondering what is written in this LO *lol*

Journaling:
the wave -> is a tiny part of a song: "O Barquinho" (Roberto Mênescal/Ronaldo Bôscoli)
There's a version of this song in English, but the words don't match exactly with the words in Portuguese:
"Little Boat"
(English lyrics: Buddy Kaye)
My little boat is like a note
Bouncing merrily along
Hear it splashing up a song
The sails of white
The sky is bright
Heading out into the blue
With a crew of only two
Where we could share
Love's salty air
On a little paradise that's afloat
Not a care have we
In my little boat
(...)

The other part of my journaling says -> If I could choose one landscape to have with me forever, I'll choose the Copacabana Beach early morning. The almond tress, close to the sand, the little fishery (fishing - ?) boats, the nets of fishery...
In the calm and few waves sea, little boats are swinging. Beyond, in the horizon, there are mountain ranges, endless, immutable... with all your color shades: all greens, all blues, all grays...
In the sand the sun just arrives. The grains is very, very white and make the perfect match with the way of Portuguese rocks. It seems like a portrait in black and white and this waves are known worldwide.
to the left I see the long curve of the beach. It's edged by the buildings - it doesn't matter to me - and it end in Leme Rock with the volume of the Sugar Loaf behind.
It's almost impossible to be sad in a city like this...

Girls, I'm sorry about my English, but I'm a Brazilian Girl who never take English lessons and all I know about English is self-learning. I hope you all can understand what I tried to say.

Who wouldn't want to wake up to that every morning? Cute little poem. Love the swirly text flow and the torn edge.
