Just about caught up (but I will probably need more than one page for yesterday's activities). What I try to convey in these pages is how everything takes place against a backdrop of sunny skies and the ocean.
Page 8 from [URL='
https://www.oscraps.com/shop/Project-Template-Album-No-9.html']Project Template Album 9[/URL] with the same background (ArtPlay Aubade) and elements from previous pages. As usual, I duplicate and supplement the Fotoblendz to cover the photo.
Tip - when I search for an element, eg 'stocking', I open that palette or collection and see what else might be useful - here some Transfers and a Heart as well as a stocking from ArtPlay Brimming.
I wanted a place for journaling but didn't want to completely cover the ocean, so I used a frame mask at reduced opacity with its shadow.
Santa extraction (its a creepy statue, but typical) done on iPhone.
