Monday Challenge requirements:

- 2 background papers (I took the brown wooden paper and added a bevel to make it appear like a frame)

- 3 photos

- 7 embellishments

- and let's get crazy with 5 MORE embellishments (by the time you add up all the shells and the sand and other stuff, I have more than 12 embellishments)

- something purple (tiny little shells)

- some text

- at least 2 different fonts or alphas

- use a blending mode or photo effect on at least one photo (used Sepia Magic style on the top right photo, and the Photo Textures style on the bottom two photos)

 

Journaling (actual excerpts from my mom's travel journal - I blended them together)

Our first trip to the beach! The sky is clear, no clouds in sight, so we feel very blessed! The ocean waves are terrific! Theresa enjoyed them at first, until they knocked her down and she felt a little fearful John, on the other hand, loved jumping over them and couldn’t get too much! When a big wave came he’d try to outrun it back to shore, then turn to jump in it. So fun to watch! The kids alternated between the ocean and the beach. They tried to make sand castles on the shore, but they kept getting washed away. They were not discouraged, though. Watched some sand crabs digging in the sand, and also some "living shells.” Ocasionally we felt these little critters pinch at our feet! A family vacation to remember!

Oh, Theresa - such lovely memories and wonderful photos! How special to use parts of your Mom's words as journaling and I really like how you framed one and off set the others. Just lovely. Your embellishment clusters are so pretty and I like your title too. Gorgeous page of a wonderful memory.

How wonderful to have these memories from your mother's point of view. Gorgeous layout - I love the little scene. The frame came out very well, too.

Love the wooden background frame and the frame on your photo. The sand, shells, flowers and background papers are so very beautiful with your photos. Great job on journaling and so wonderful you mom kept the journal. Beautiful!
