This picture of me was taken this past December during our trip to Florida.
I love the beach, the fresh air and the sound of the waves make me so calm and relaxed.
One of my favourite things about this layout is the color scheme.
For the journaling component of the OUAS challenge I wrote all my new hopes and dreams for 2013 all around the page in a white pen.
I'm also using this layout for the January challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy challenge about New Years resolutions. Which I've written all over this layout. Some are even hidden.
You can see in this close-up a few 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces. First you can see the Frame Nella's. I also covered it in glass bead gel and painted it in dark blue Shimmerz paint.
The second piece is the Compass which I simply dabbed in chalk ink.
Then I used the Doves which I painted in light blue acrylic and dabbed with dark blue ink.
Finally I want to show you my favourite part of this layout: the chipboard hexagons. I first covered them in gesso. Then using a chicken wire stencil I masked the pattern with Martha Stewart Textured paste. I also sprinkled some blue beads on top while the paste was wet. At the end I dabbed the textured area with my acrylic paint blue dabber.
