More layouts!

It's been a fun and busy couple weeks - here are a few layouts from our recent trip to Orlando to visit family and spend a couple days at Disney, and our evening at the beach! Credits under each photo.

Have I mentioned I love the beach?

I really, really love the beach. Just hearing the sound of the waves means instant relaxation for me. I left work a little early today and picked up Adam and Alexa and we headed to our local beach (only 15 minutes away!) - although it was quite chilly (it never made it over 72 today - and that was inland), we had a blast. It was late afternoon and the lighting was just perfect perfect perfect for some photos (notice how many feet are on the ground in the last photo - none!). Then we scored an awesome new restaurant find that has the best lobster bisque I've ever had.....does it get any better than this??

{PS - I do have a couple layouts to share this weekend but see earlier posts....I have been so BUSY!! And did I mention that we were in Orlando visiting family and Disney earlier this week??}

Digital Freebie - Old Fashioned Beach Bum kit

Woo hoo! I figured out how to post a photo of my kit along with the three links to download it. I called it "Old Fashioned Beach Bum" because it's very beachy and the elements (distressed chipboard and chipped painted metal) are all aged. So maybe it's not the best name, but I like it! I was going for two very different looks anchored (no pun intended) by the blues - the first is softer and is blues/tans, while the other is bright and fun with yellows/blues.
