I am continuing to work towards my personal goal of expanding my colour confort zone.  Today I would like to share a page I put together using plenty of bright colour.  I was inspired by all of the colourful beach umbrellas in my photographs to bring a rainbow of colours into the page.

I liked the idea of placing my photos side by side to mimic that these scenery shots were of the view to my left and my right.  I created a pretty simple 'L' shaped design.  My background sheet and paper strips are from My Mind's Eye, labels from Doodlebug Designs, and stickers from Echo Park.  For embellishment I twisted some white embroidery thread into loops and glued down to the page, five tiny pink and green gems in each cluster, and some wood vaneer pieces.  I took some inspiration from techniques I have seen Shimelle use, and borrowed the title Busy Busy from one of her older 'Sketch to Scrapbook' process video because this was the busiest beach I had ever seen.
