My story and Serenity pages

My two pages together.

This page wasn't designated for anything in particular. I know I'm going to need some pages for pictures that I didn't count on or adventures I didn't know I would be taking. Again I used a film strip but I think it was from Mickey and Friends. There a couple of cartridges with strips like this on them. I cut this out a long time ago because I wanted to see what it looked like. I do that sometimes and then just put them in a drawer marked Cricut die cuts. Now I know to put the size on the backside of the cuts.

 The fish are the same issue.I sparkled up some of the fins and tails. No size but the cartridge is Life is a Beach. It could be 3 1/2 inches. I found a lot of the time I had to make various cuts until I stumbled upon the right size for my project. Scrap or ugly paper is ideal for that. Sorry, I digress. The 'My Story' in the top right corner was again made by me. Just yellow cardstock, black with white polka dot paper with a border of stick on  daisy like flowers. I might have got then at the dollar store also." Best day ever"is from a pack of cards that I got especially for Smashbook. The pocket was just scrap paper and it was torn on the top edge and everything distressed again. The journal card just says travel log and I stamped the date on it.

The Serenity page was inspired from the Serenity deck on the ship we are cruising on. It's all in turquoise and teak wood. No children. At my age, that's a bonus on a cruise. 

Again my frames are from Artbooking. The word serenity was cut from Life is a Beach. I have 5 inches written down so I'm hoping that is right. The seahorses were also cut out from Life is a Beach. They were cut from sparkle paper but I don't have a size. My ruler measures them at 2 1/4 inches.

The journaling will go behind the pictures once they are permanently in the book. I added some real sand to the coral under the word Serenity. It's lovely sand and I always have some in a little jar on my shelves for just this kind of thing.
