Oceanfront Dining

It is another cold day here on the East Coast, so why not scrapbook some more honeymoon layouts? I used more of Tessa's new January Sampler and my Fine and Dandy by My Minds Eye papers.

I had a lot of scenic pictures of the oceanfront restaurant we ate at one evening. I printed one of them 5x7 because it turned out so beautiful!

The mustard colored felt and lace lollipop flower with the pearl center is exclusive to the sampler package. I used the 2 leaves that also came in the kit to embellish it.

I added interest to my circle mat by cutting small pieces from the sheer ribbon, making a loop, and securing with a brass brad. 4 feet of ribbon is included in the sampler - and Tessa packages it so pretty on a clothespin with a stick pin (which I am going to use on a future project!)

For the second page of my double layout, I used the current sketch at Artful Delight.

I created a collage of pictures from our meal, the view from inside the restaurant, and the sign.

I kept it simple with another flower from the kit - a cardboard flower dyed with daffodil shimmery spray and accented with a shiny brad. It matches the colors/mood of my page perfectly!

I brought the 2 pages together by using brass brads on the corners of the photos on the second page and small strips of patterned paper on my journaling box.
