Picture it Perfect Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Picture it Perfect Blog Hop hosted by Gill and Doris. Today's blog hop is a wonderful way to feature photography! You will get to see lots of wonderful photos along the way. I'm so glad you joined us today. If you arrived here from Janet you are in the right spot. If you are reading from your e-mail or just happened along my blog, please go to the Gill's Blog and check out all the wonderful photography and projects along the way. I'm SO EXCITED about this hop because I just LOVE photography & I'm getting to show off some of my skills.


Today I am sharing photos I took when I visited Oregon a few years ago. If you ever get to visit the Oregon coast, I HIGHLY recommend it, it is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! The location is Cape Perpetua, given its' name because on a clear day you can see the entire coastline of the state from the point. Unfortunately, it was a hazy day & we couldn't see the ENTIRE state...We could still see quite a distance as you can see in a couple of my photos. None of these photos have been edited since I took them, these are the pure colors of the day & dramatic changes in clarity over about an hour's time. I hope that I can go back again some day.

Cape Perpetua, Oregon

Page Title-cut on Cricut from Mickey Font Cartridge

Look down the coastline, you can see for miles upon miles...it's endless

  

Waves crashing against rocks immediately below Cape. Stark contrast from the serene beach just a few hundred feet away

Miles upon miles of Oregon coastline viewed from Cape

Jetty just a couple miles down from Cape. I took a TON of photos of this area.

This town was just below the Cape on the northern side. I never made it down to this town, but from above it looked as if time had stood still. Very quaint fishing town.

With the exception of the village, all photos are looking south down the coast.

  





I hope you enjoyed my photography and my projects. I would love for you to leave me comments.

Glitter & Bling Blog Hop

Hello and Welcome to the Glitter and Bling Blog Hop hosted by Gill. I'm glad you're here to hop along with us. If you hopped from Amy yeah! You are in the right spot, however if you are reading from your e-mail or just stumbled upon my blog, please go back Gill's post at the beginning and check out all the awesome projects! PLUS there is some wonderful blog candy along the way that you don't want to miss out on.

Now, on to my project...


This is an altered journal that I made for a journal swap...now because the recipient has not gotten it in her hands yet, I'm not sharing ALL of the details of the journal...I want some things to be a surprise...We have done "sneak peeks"...so I'm sharing the sneak peek with y'all as well...

Front

Back

Tag

The sand on the cover is actual sand. It was an adventure to learn how to mix it with the fixative and apply it. It also took several days to dry completely. I LOVE how it turned out though! The mixative is Gel Gloss. It is an acrylic additive/fixative that is with the artist's painting supplies. The "water" is fabric. I applied that using Aileen's fabric glue. The glittery fish are from my stash of foam stickers. The Sea Turtle, glass fish and other critters are all beads attached with the same gel gloss that I used for the sand. On the back of the journal are EK Success glitter stickers. Nothing major, very simple, just to follow the theme of the rest of the journal. I wanted something on the back of the jounal but I wanted it smooth so that it lies flat on the table or a lap. These stickers were PERFECT. This tag is the only one I'm sharing in the peek because I want her to be surprised at the rest of her goodies...I used my Imagine to print AND cut the tag and the turtle. All the cardstock is plain white Colorbok & printed with my Imagine. Unfortunately, I don't remember the sizes or which cart the turtle came from. The prints came from the Ancestry cartridge. I then embossed the border and the turtle's shell to give him just a little glam :)

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my designs. Your next stop is Zenita. Enjoy the rest of the hop! Here is the entire line-up, in case you get lost along the way
