A Few More

Well, I've gotten a few more pages done and here they are...

Waikiki Aquarium

I just love these templates that I used.  Simple, clean and lots of room for photos!  Perfect for this page.

I love this kit and the soft colours, especially combined with all the soft colours in the kit.  This was our first Sunday morning in Hawai'i.

Getting There!

Well, I have not made as much progress on my Hawai'i book as I had hoped, but I have made more progress than I thought I might, if that makes sense.  It helps when I have such wonderful products to use!  Oscraps is full of beautiful items!

These first couple of pages are for some of the monthly challenge at Oscraps and I love the inspiration I got from them.

Beach

This was for the colour challenge - such a perfect palette for our beach days!

The Blowhole
This challenge was about contrasting your type with the background.  I think I did an OK job, but it's not as dramatic as I would like.  However, the challenges are about inspiring you to get your scrap on and it worked for that!

This collaboration from the Oscraps designers was just the perfect, gorgeous thing to scrap the pictures I had of these exotic flowers!  I don't usually use such a colourful background but I really love how it turned out.

Getting Some Things Done! Yay!!

Well, I don't know if I'm quite on track for my goal of having my photobook done but here are a few more pages I've completed...

Foodland Memories:

I love how this turned out.  I was so unsure but the grocery bag was ugly colours so I just turned it into a sketch and used it for the background.  I think it turned out really fun.
