Journaling: What an incredible high this weekend was for me! I adored hanging out in Bellingham and Fairhaven and the beautiful campus of Autumns college with its incredible view. Goodness knows, we certainly ate well in the wonderful restaurants in the area. We combed through three bookstores and then had coffee and pastry in the afternoon, sitting at the window looking out into the rainy street. Sophia spent the night with Autumn in her dorm and Jackie and I went to our hotel after dinner. The time together was all too short with every moment counting.

Notes: After choosing my photos, I opened a FotoInspired Template page that worked with the photos and simply clipped the photos to the masks. I did some processing of the photos before bringing them in. The only change I made to the template was take out the two frame divide of the left framed mask. I didnt want the view to be broken up. I added the artsy kardz to the text box masks under the journaling.
Putting the title in the top middle photo, I used a style to transform it and Blend Ifs on the journaling I brought in.
Over the background and under the photos I added transfers, paper textures, paint, leaf spackle and stains, using colors from the palette and the photos. At the bottom of the page, I brought in the month and date circles.
Then using the MM Leaf and MM Rain to finish the page, resizing both. I didnt want to bring anything more into the page because I thought it busy enough with all the autumn colors in the photos.
