At the Beach - a mini-album

Hi all! Becky here today to share a glimpse of how I used the "At the Beach" kit I designed for Altered Pages in July...

This kit comes with tons of collage sheet images, a great Arch-shaped Board Book, paper & more!

I decided I wanted to use some photos of my daughter playing on the beach last year in Maui. In keeping with the vintage theme of the book, I tinted all of my pictures in a sepia tone & printed a "contact sheet" of them in PSE to get a sheet of images that were roughly 2x3 (some I made larger).  Then I hand-colored her skin with a Copic marker to make them stand out a little.

 I also printed some little tag lines from the computer as well...

 

I think it's a really fun book to remember those sun & sand-filled days at the beach!

I hope you'll check out the kit here! As well as most of the supplies, in the directions w/photos, I show you how to add the paint layers to each page & then muss it up a little with some texture & ink before you add the collage images!

It was great fun to design! I think that you could easily use it as journal or even just add a fun poem or story to the pages!

Thanks for stopping by!
