LIFE IS A BEACH (WOYWW 162)

Wow, where does the time go. It is Wednesday once again and that means that it is time for another WOYWW with our wonderful hostess Julia over at the Stamping Ground. It's a time for crafters and artist around the world to get together without buying a plane ticket. We get to stop in for a visit and see what everyone else is working on. I love it and so will you. I am going to keep the text short because I have a lot of  photos of my most recent project... I finished my beach travel journal (scrapbook). Just a few more photos to add from last year and a little more journalling and it will be ready for the new photos from this year. The idea for this travel journal came from Kathryn over at LifesontheScrapBeach


Front Cover ( I really love how it turned out. It looks much better in person) The charm is made up of lots of sea creatures. I used my cinch to bind it.

  

1. Is a close up the charm. 2 and 3 are just a couple ofthe pages. On the #3, I made a flip page to add more photos.


Me enjoying the beach with my friends. and another flip page to show off my photos.

This is what my desk looks like at the moment. What a mess. I worked on my book all weekend. and I have not put anything back yet.


A photo of the surf. I really enjoyed making this book and I loved being on the beach. I can't wait for the next trip.

I do still have blog candy and would love for you to join me for the fun. You can reach it from my sidebar.
I do have challenges for this project....

  4. Really impressive book. Is a cinch like Bind It All? The wires look the same. I also really enjoyed your flip pages. At first, I didn't know what they were (since I'm not a scrapbooker), but I can see a lot of applications. Happy WOYWW from #1

  9. Hi Joynana - Looks like you had a fab time. That beach looks dreamy. We spent a week in Sarasota and it looked just like that. I couldn't get over the fact that the sand stayed cool! No crazy and very undignified rushes to the water! Fab journal of happy times. That octopus charm is fab. WOYWW Hugs from Helen 69 x

  28. Lovely book and I recognise those papers. I have used them for a Scotland tour album (I bought the album too!)
    Lovely photos and I would kill for some of that weather in exchange for this rain we have been having since February! I am not joking!

  32. Wow - your beach journal has really turned out well - looks like some gorgeous photos too!

    Project Life - too much to say about it here, so I'd recommend you google it and Becky Higgins, the person who came up with it. It's a fab concept, really nice and quick, but keeps a great record of your week/month etc....

    Thanks for stopping by.
