CORONADO

by FairyMouseMomAug 18, 2005
Hi, Ladies. Thanks for looking.<BR><BR><BR><BR>The pictures I took on vacation this time were all digital ones! These were taken while visiting my sister in San Diego this summer. One of our last days there we drove to Coronado and went to the beach at the Hotel Del. The water was a bit cold, but that didn't matter to the kids. Three of them played a lot "jumping" the waves. Then, the rest of the time, they spent digging and building hills (not really sandcastles) and digging to have a moat! I suggested they gather the kelp / seaweed and use it as a barrier.<BR><BR><BR><BR>(I will probably add some journaling on the other page...when I get to doing that one!)<BR><BR><BR><BR>This is the first time I am using Basic Grey paper! I sanded the edges of the photo mats with the pictures. On the two smaller ones I then chalked black on the edges. On the larger picture mat I then inked the torn edges. I also sanded the big picture edges and inked that, too! I chalked the edges of the photo mat with the large cardstock sticker on it. Since you can't read the MME stickers that are on the smaller pictures, they read, "A cousin is a ready-made friend for life." and "Cousins." I put the rub-ons directly onto the big picture...and then again at the bottom of the page. The cardstock stickers are: relaxing and part of its definition, "fun," and "vacation."<BR><BR><BR><BR>Products used:<BR><BR><BR><BR>Patterned Paper: Basic Grey (Raspberry Blue, ACS-047) Aged & Confused Sublime Collection<BR><BR>Patterned Paper: Basic Grey (Vintage Floral, ACS-050) Aged & Confused Sublime Collection<BR><BR>Solid Cardstock: Unknown (Black)<BR><BR>Rub-Ons: Making Memories (Black, Providence and Heidi)<BR><BR>Stickers: My Mind's Eye, Inc. - Tiny Tales Vellum (Cousins, Aunts & Uncles, #TAV108)<BR><BR>Cardstock Stickers: Pebbles, Inc. - Real Life (Travel, #32004)<BR><BR>Cardstock Stickers: Pebbles, Inc. - Real Life (Dictionary Travel, #31055)<BR><BR>Thanks for looking and leaving a comment!<BR><BR><BR><BR>(Edited to add sticker comments.)

Great layout, I like your use of rubons directly on the picture, and the different ways you treated the edges of your photo mats.
