Long Beach Aquarium

Pink, Teal And Peach

Hi scrappers and welcome to 2024! I spent New Year’s Day making my first page of the year. I used some old photos of my husband and I that were taken at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California. It’s a really fun way to spend the afternoon, especially it’s located down at the boardwalk where there’s lots of restaurants and shops as well. We snapped these photos in front of a giant floor to ceiling tank with full of tropical fish and rays.

I used some abstract dotted teal paper from the Eclectic paper stack by The Paper Studio and used some pink paper from the Green House stack by Recollections to give the page more stability since the Paper Studio paper is so thin. I cut out some details from a page in the Amy Tangerine Brave + Bold paper stack and used a Shimelle sticker book for the title. I used a texture stencil and stencil butter in Turquoise and Fuchsia by The Crafter’s Workshop to add some shimmy details and used up the last three wave stickers I had in my stash by Jolee’s Boutique.

This page was made for challenge 581 over at Color Dare. I used all four colors but made Lagoon my main color since it matched my photos.

This page was made using sketch 358 over at A Cherry on Top Crafts. I used two large photos instead of three small ones and replaced the proposed snowflake embellishments with texture paste accents.

That’s all for now! Thank you for starting the new year with me and I will see you all soon! You can also find me on YouTube and Instagram!
