This huge hoto is about 2 years old and was taked by prof on our sea trip to Carrebean on my twin 21th B- day. They were living then in USA and my DH and I decided to give them this sea cruse as a gift (also we enjoyed it too very much)

So now it was a great time to scrap it- as nobody can see it in the folder- it's not even digi - but scanned..

Let me show u wht we have here:1 AC carstock/ piece of used Jenny Bowlin punched paper (used , not new),very old non brand chip alphas- maybe 4 years old or more, home doily, very old Heidi Swapp photo corner, some crft shop cheap lace pleated as a border,2 self made pins- I did them ages ago and never used, Tim Holtz die cut- part of the die, I used the other part, vintage music paper, vintage book paper for the homemade flower, crochet homemade flower, punched and misted butterfly,some bloommers from Webster I won, some Prima flowers and crystals. part of Prima pearl swirls- I still have more then half, stamped on acetate watches...

And for the techniques- lots of distressing with inks, using a doily as a temlate, faux hand stitching, home made flowers and punching..
Took me 3 hours to decide on the additional color to cream- brown- I was in between reddish pink or blue- blue won as I had a crochet and pin dne in blue..
