There’s nothing like having a little beach time in the summer. Okay, maybe in the winter in a tropical area is good too. ;) And I don’t know about your, but I take waaaay too many pictures at the beach. So seeing this page from Barbara Picinich is a perfect example on how to document all those photos. I’ll be saving this glorious idea!

 

 

My days of having my daughter home with us full time are fading quite quickly and I guess that has made me wish for the early days a lot. Our summer days have been so chill this year that we haven’t really done any traveling so it was fun to make this reflective page on all of the good times we have had over the years in Lake Tahoe.

I knew I wanted the bold sun and summer stamp from the Summer Season set to be the focal point of one of my pages so once I had that element worked out and stamped I could figure out how much space I had left. Luckily I had room to make a grid around it to hold ten photos and picked some of my favorites from over the years.

I knew the Captions stamps would be great for a title so I figured out my spacing and sat down to write my story. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to decorate the spread, if at all but I did notice the topo map washi sitting on my desk so I ended up modifying my text block and shifting it so I had some room to lay down a strip of that. It was just enough accent while allowing the stamping to take center stage. I really loved the stamps this month!
