This is my first ever 12 x 12 scrapbook page so y'all please be kind. I'm primarily a card maker so this was a real adventure for me.
As far as hoarding, practically everything on this page I was hoarding: the photo paper, the BasicGrey dp, the black & white photo (I didn't take it, they did at the Titanic exhibit), and the mementos from the exhibit.
The colors were so vivid in the aquarium, I couldn't find paper to go with it. So my background was entirely done by me. I used a brayer to add the color, stamped fish and waves and writing and added stickles on the waves. I also did a bright orange paper to use as a mat for some of the pics. The dp was used on a couple of the pics and the flower/leaf petals behind the title. I used a Sizzix die to add the corner elements.
I used the Nestie rectangles and square to emboss a frame around the inside borders of the pics. The Nestie flower set was used to cut the leaves behind the titles. TFL

Your BG is awesome! Love the vigrant colors. Doing the one photo in b/w is perfect for its subject from history. You have done marvelously well, not a thing to worry about from anyone! lol

I think this is absolutely wonderful! I love the nice corner detail on the pictures. I love how you picked up the orange in the jelly fish! It's amazing! Good job!
