MMDT Challenge #7: Dunes

The first time I tabbed through Mosaic Moments Page Patterns, I few in love with #46.

There is something that just draws me to this pattern. In fact, I have several more ideas on how to use it.

So, when this challenge allowed us to pick our own pattern, I knew this was the one I was going to do!

I wanted the pictures to sort of pop out of the patterned paper (by Webster's Pages).

This page worked perfectly for photos of the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Although the scenery was beautiful, it didn't translate well into pictures, so I only had a few to work with.

I cut up the sign and used it as the title. I also included a photo of the distant lighthouse, one of the shoreline and one where you can see the sand of the dunes.

The most prominent photo captures the fun my husband and I had taking photos of the scenery. The fun of photographing the scenery was actually more fun, for us that day, than viewing it. The park was really crowded and there were a lot of screaming moms, wild children and rude people at the park that day. While the general ambiance took away from the beauty of the park, we still managed to have fun with our cameras.

I know these aren't normally things people would include in a scrapbook or journal, but I think it is important to record the truth ... although I did downplay it a little bit on my page.

I added a few stickers as accents and wrote the journaling by hand. This was something I had stopped doing for a while, but started up again with Mosaic pages. I had forgotten how quick and easy it is!

Here is a close up of the journaling ...
