Whenever we are away somewhere I try to take a walk alone so I can observe in peace ;-) I loved these polka dot shutters and colorful flowers against salt-washed shingles.
Then, because the photo of the large window was mostly reflection, I placed a photo of me and the pups in Hard Light mode (can you find both Molly and Cher?), plus another favorite photo of a garage with a quilt block on it. I warped both these photos then placed a stroke and drop shadow.
The rest of the photos clipped to FotoInspired masks, with stitched frames around most.
I used the 'Framed Tabs' from FI 2Y to duplicate "dot" shapes, then I scattered buttons and threadz to scatter color.
The Beach Life wood words are lightened (via Hue/Saturation) to look like the shingles.
This was a lot of fun to make.
