Vacation

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  SPRITZ AND SPLATTER Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: VACATION

Lucky me! I got to go on a cruise this spring with my sister to Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. Loving the ship life!

I spent a lot of my time sketching on our trip. My favorite place to go was there Promenade deck.  I tried to do at least one sketch a day while on the ship. I even met the captain one day! 

After our cruise, we went to St. Augustine, Florida to spend time with our sister there. Truly, it was a wonderful vacation! 

 

THis week, I decided on a hybrid art journal/scrapbook spread. I began with some stamping and stenciling. 

 

I decided the background was a little too bold, and would detract from the photos, so I spritzed it and lifter color with a paper towel. 

I printed out a few tiny pictures to use and added them to the pages.  

I stamped some fun imageslllevery ship has a cat, right? I also doodled lines around the photos to pop them. 

I added a couple of tags with thread. 

One of my highlights was having High Tea!
