Our first night at Astoria was positively magical with it's glorious sunset! All of it was seen from our hotel balcony. Astoria, Oregon, May 14, 2023

Construction: I started with a mashup combination of FotoInspired Template Pack No 3B pages 10 & 12, moving and flipping layers. I clipped my photos to the various fotomask layers and the circle frame mask. I added color to the rectangular frame and the paper. Blended in HandWritten Recipes No 1 #3 on the paper. I added a couple of Stitched By Anna Bitz White No. 1 to the top of the template’s circle frame and the stroked frame. I added some Circle Stains No 1.
All my photos were better set off by a dark paper, so for the background, I used ArtPlay Palette Canyon Solid Paper #5 with adjustment layers Black and White, Invert and Brightness (Creative-Black & White Negative Adjustments Preset in PS ver. 24.5).
I added word art, beaded threadz to finish.
