What a fantastic page! Your photos are stunning! I love the pocket style template you used as it gave you the opportunity to use blocks for photos and blocks for your beautiful art!
Yes! I agree with Evelyn! The pocket style looks great with the added interest in the stitching and the messy threads. So much fine detail to draw me in even closer. Love this.
What a great layout and story to tell! I also almost drowned as a child and while it didn't keep me out of pools and such, I was always nervous in lakes where I couldn't see the bottom. Snorkeling in beautiful ocean waters was a game changer!
