My youngest granddaughters solo adventure to Southern California to visit her Aunt and cousins during her spring break from high school. First time she flew by herself. Her cousin Dakota took her to Laguna beach the first day and many more adventures are in the plans. Cant wait to hear all about it when she gets back, hopefully with lots of photos to share.

Process Notes: I wanted this layout to be all about the sunny colors of a Southern California beach, nothing fancy/schmancy.
After opening Artsy Layered Template 223, I turned off all the layers except the background and started building from there. Placing the main photo of the palm trees as the background, I added the warm glow in the upper left corner blending it to Lighten at 100% opacity. Added the light leaks in the bottom right corner, blurring it a little and setting it to Overlay at 100% opacity.
From there I worked on the individual photos, making them black and white, adding a solid color adjustment layer to each and turning down the opacity. To each photo I clipped a warm glow using blend modes to suit each photo.
I kept an art stroke, splatters, texture, stain and the postcard layers from the template and deleted the rest. I added the title and journaling finishing the page.
