The holidays hit and that's all she (I) wrote......literally!!!!
After a busy Thanksgiving season (we drove to Colorado where we had a great time with Andy's side of the family), Christmas hit like a whirlwind and we didn't really even have a chance to slow down! Then there were the parties and New Year's.....
Not to mention a BIG project I am doing for CardMaker Magazine and Annie's Attic (but more on that later). :)
Anywho, in January, Andy and I took a much needed vacation to the Florida Keys, just the two of us.
What a kick in the pants THAT was!!!! We stayed at the Marriott Key Largo Beach Club Resort (because Andy is all about staying in nice hotels). We snorkeled, chilled on the beach, had AMAZING food every. single. meal. drove all the way to Key West, and I even got a luxurious massage in a beach cabana!!!
Then when we got back to the mainland, we took an airboat tour thru the Everglades, and had the most amazing crab ever in Ft. Lauderdale!
But never fear, I packed my trusty Canon Eos Rebel to all the above events, and have even managed to snap a few pics.
That is where the above photo is from. The coconut sign was outside a restaurant that had "World Famous" key lime pie, and the background is a photo I took of the water when we were snorkeling. And yes....the water really was that color of blue!
Since I have a bad case of Spring Fever right now, I wanted to work on pages with happy colors, so it seemed fitting to do a few pages of the Florida trip.
HAPPY SUNSHINE
CLOSE-UPS:
I used quite a bit of 'Basic Grey' for this. Also threw in some 'Dear Lizzy' and 'Amy Tangerine'. The brown compass beneath the blue epoxy/wooden button is ancient 'The Girls' Paperie'. Cloud washi tape is from 'Bella BLVD' and is my FAVE pattern right now!
Thanks for looking!
Later,
nancy
