I absolutely agree! Any nature centers and harmonizes me, but something about the beach... LOVED your photo and the circle and flourish layering around it and the colors you used are so perfect! Great page!
Peace and tranquility abound in your morning coffee along the waters edge, and what better way to accompany that than shades of blue and flourishing vines. Ah, so peaceful!
This is fabulous, Kathy! I love the beach, and miss living near it. It is calming, especially when not too many people are around, and you can use this time to relax and reflect. Truly a beautiful layout.
I'm like you...I find my peace and harmony when I'm near water, even if it's just a swimming pool. And my crazy butt lives in the middle of the desert. Lol. I love that you focused the photo on your coffee cup with the sea behind it. Beautiful die cut flourishes. Fave
You are right, the date IS cool! I really love your journaling too. It's so cool how the pic is enveloped in the swirls - they make such an ornate frame. Nice title font too.
I LOVE the way your journaling follows the edge of the circle, kind of like the waves coming up on a shoreline ... I've wanted to try that technique forever, but I've never seemed to be able to get the knack of it. It's SUPER cool! You're getting a ton of mileage out of your kit this month, girl. I'm loving the dark tones to the pages you've been creating. It's another very creative departure for you, and is obviously allowing you to flex your scrapping muscle. I think we must have been channeling each other this week, because my weekly is a shoreline as well... I hope to get it up today!
Okay so like, everything about this is just PERFECT! The colors, the patterns, the layers, the decorative vine half-frame, and of course...COFFEE! LOL! Seriously though... I just love this so much! Can you allow your amazing creativity to visit me for a while? I promise I'll take good care of it... please! ;0)
What a pretty photo...it has two of my favorite things...the ocean and coffee! I love the makeup of the photo as well, with the coffee in the forefront in focus, and the background blurred. Very cool!
Your layout looks so peaceful and beautiful. The first thing I noticed was the expertly done distressing and layering. Such a beautiful and creative way to make the photo come alive. I agree with Blanca...love the boats in the background.
I don't know what it is, but the water has a calming effect on me. This is a beautiful picture with the boats in the background. Like your cut outs framing the picture.
This is a photo I took in January when I was out on my morning walk even when I was on holidays at my best friend's house. It was taken on the 18.1.18 - I like the symmetry of the date. I created this layout for the Anything Goes Challenge - Weekly Challenge. We had to share a place that centres us - creates harmony or balance. No people could be in it. We had to reflect upon life statements and goals and attitudes. I love the tranquillity of a calm day at the water's edge. Even though I live a long way from the water, it always has a restorative effect. This jetty at Valentine NSW is one of the best places to recharge and reenergise. My journaling reads - Peace and Harmony Although I live so far away from the ocean and the calming sounds of the tide lapping the shore, it is here that I find my equilibrium. The sounds of nature at her best let me refocus on the important things. Family, friends, relaxation and a good cup of coffee! My philosophy in my job is “Waves on the Beach” – no matter the child or the situation, consistency and predictability are the key to my approach. This is what I expect and explains my love of the shoreline.
We were also only allowed to use our counterfeit kits for this project.
I stacked this one with the Spotlight Gallery - where I used Cathy Lane's Kissed by the Wind layout -
- for inspiration, scraplift your favourites, the Artistic Ingredient challenge, the Music Challenge - I used the lyrics from Miley Cyrus'- Malibu - I'd spend the rest of my life Just Standing Here (Hence the Title) and the Music Inspiration challenge, Die cutters challenge, Journaling Challenge and the Foodie Challenge.
