I finished this layout yesterday. Pics are from Kadena Marina and Sunabe Seawall, taken during the first two months we were here on Okinawa. The weather here during the first few months of the year is gray, gray and more gray (sometimes you don't see the sun for weeks it feels like) so there aren't any real bright colors in the pics. I kept my color combo muted as well--Sahara Sand, Baja Breeze (I will miss this color soooooooooo much when it retires, I've begun hoarding) and Basic Gray. I stamped the largest shell from Stipple Shells on the journaling block but I'm not sure you can see that in the picture.
The title letters are done using a die cut machine at the local craft store. I really like the font and wish I had it for my Sizzix machine but this is an AccuCut font I think called Fairy Tale. The only bad thing about it is apparently the dies are dull or something, they made a good indentation on my cardstock but didn't cut through it in most cases. Good thing I like fussy cutting...

I like the muted tones and the simplicity of the layout, really makes the photos pop! The shells in the title and under the pic, and that great patterned paper is perfect here! Great layout!

Love the color combo together. Really cute LO, Christy. Good to see a pic of YOU on there. I told you that you'd be happy I *made* you be in the pictures.
