Process
I opened up 8x8 Artsy Template Album 1 pages 10 and 11. They were resized to 12 x 24 inches (my books are 12 x12). All layers were turned off except for the large fotoblendz mask and the photo mask for the frame. Pattern paper from APP Chills was used as the background for both pages. Artsy paper 4 from APP Adventure was layered over paper on the right side with the blending mode changed to multiply. The barn photo was clipped to the large fotoblendz, duplicated with the blending mode changed to hard light. The beach photo was clipped to the frame mask, duplicated with a gaussian blur added, blending mode changed to screen and the opacity reduced. Transfers from APP Chills and APP Adventure were layered onto the page. Next I began turning back on the hidden layers one by one, either recoloring, moving or deleting them. The opacity of the tape layers were reduced. Embellishments and journaling were added to complete the page. A warm glow was clipped to the bird charm and the blending mode was changed to color to make the charm gold.
Thank you for looking!

My DREAM is to be a snowbird. I'd like to spend November through April in Arizona (away from the cold, damp Pacific Northwest), but your ocean view looks pretty nice too. Love your transition from snow to sun. The birds are brilliant.
 
Quite a contrast you've drawn! I agree with Sharron...the birds are a brilliant page transition!
 
What a transition! And
What a chance to go from a place to the other one
 
having lived in AZ for many years, I totally understand "snow birds" and their migration. adore how you've made the beachy scene hazy as if it's a favorite memory that's quickly fading.
 
What a wonderful way to spend the winters, flying south. I'd love it! Great two page spread!
 
I really like the compare/contrast nature of this...and count me in with the Love of Those Birds! A luscious spread.
