I know we all say that we want to scrapbook more and I am one of those people but this year I have made some attempts to make more layouts not quite as many as I hoped but this week over at
scrapping every day miracles - their challenge was to find the beauty and scrap it...
here is my interpretation of that call...
I took this photo around 3 years ago on our way up to santa barbara at
EL CAPITAN BEACH during one of many summer time trips - it's a lovely beach and has lots of rocks and I think this photo came out wonderfully. I love the stillness of it and the clear shot of the seagull...
I added some fun hexagons???chipboard stickers from Girls paperie to the bottom of the layout
and the top and pretty much kept the layout clean and simple....
The thought behind the layouts - was seeing the beauty...journaling
I have been noticing things like birds and butterflies that seem to follow me when I least expect it and I have decided that they are signs from my mom and brother who are in heaven watching down on me and my family. I try and find the beauty or the signs in things more so lately...may seem a bit contrite but it's how I get through things...
I am linking this up to the following challenges:
tuesday throwdown - summertime

have a great weekend

Thanks for sharing your wonderful layout with us Tina! I love the photo you captured and I'm glad our challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles inspired you to scrap it. Is there stitching on your layout? If so, it will satisfy the challenge scrap twist and you'll be eligible for our prize!
Tina. I think that butterflies and birds speak HIS language. Nice layout.
Tina this is gorgeous. Sorry to hear about your mother and brother. It is comforting to feel like we can still feel the love of those who have gone on before us through the beauty of God's creatures. I'd love to see you become eligible for the Ormolu prize by adding a little stitching to the layout :D. Have a wonderful weekend.
I agree, sometimes the smallest signs can turn into a wonder of meaning. The picture is lovely and it goes well with the serene layout you created!
