'Twas a dark and stormy afternoon (after a night of 70+ mph wind gusts, 40 mph sustained)...
(that's sand, not mist)
A touch windy
Crashers & Splashers
Little birds all in a row
Little birds all in a blow
Sand dollar find, and ink on nose...
10 minutes after we left the beach, the rain slammed back in. There was even a semi overturned on the Waldport bridge, blocking the road to Newport! They said the bridge might be closed up to 3 hours... but so far, the power has stayed on. Yay!
A couple of designers needed some help with sample layouts, so these are made with other people's stuff!
Everything from Project November kit by Crisdam Designs.
Everything from Mye de Leon's kit Joys of the Season at MScraps. Fonts: My Type of Font and Very Merry.
Journaling reads:
It always seems unfair that you have your birthday the day after Christmas. There’s not a lot of time to build up extra excitement. But you always seem to enjoy yourself!
Everything with my Baseball kit @ MScraps. Font: Franklin Gothic Heavy. Journaling reads: When Sharon arrived and pitched, you finally got several hits in, and you were SO pleased with yourself!
Just some photos from tonight, and my AlphaMasks for the title (@ MScraps). Font: Cheryl Hand. Journaling reads:
So much are you our gift.
To you we have given
the release of
spontaneous joy,
the impulse to run
toward beauty.
For us we have gained
a sense of caution
and our love
grids the world
in search of danger.
This was not an exchange
we had anticipated.
Wave after wave tonight
flooded us with wariness
While, heedless, you carved
channels and encouraged
the water to eat its way
closer to you. We sighed.
For ADSR6.13. Everything mine @ MScraps from the Sandy Toes kit, except for the alpha which is from Stitched Alpha 1. Font: Augie. Journaling reads:
This is Tycho.
He is 1 1/2 now.
He joined us last January.
He is very ferocious
with soft fuzzy stuffies.
He sleeps in the office
while I work.
He is getting much
better with a frisbee.
He swims whenever he can.
He is foolish.
He is very smart.
He travels with us.
He has a brother
named Allen.
He gets himself
into fixes.
He gets himself
out of fixes.
He looks at himself in the
mirror. He looks at us
in the mirror.
He holds out all his paws
(one at a time)
when they need drying.
He lives for the beach.
We love him very much.
Everything mine @ Pixel Canvas. Background paper from Industrious (Remix), bottom swirl & brown paper from Nautica, swirl behind the frame & feather from Delicacies, and patterned paper from Tangled Twirls. Font: XBand Rough.
After I finished uploading the layout, I realized these shots were SOOC

Gotta love that "auto" setting... *rolls eyes at self*

Everything with my Sparkly mini-kit @ Pixel Canvas. Journaling reads: "We don’t really dress up. What’s the point? This is the fanciest I’ve dressed in the last 3-4 years: black jeans, black sweater, black leather jacket. Because what did we do on my birthday? Sit outside in the cool weather at the fanciest restaurant in town--and we loved it!" Font: Pegsanna HMK.
Wake UP!*lol* Not my usual palette, but I had fun nonetheless!
