Challenge YOUrself #80 "Lost in Paradise"

It's time for our August Challenge over at the Challenge YOUrself Blog - this month we challenge you to create a layout about VACATION - and be sure to include YOU in one of the photos!

I used a photo of my hubby and I when we docked in Cartagena, Columbia, before going through the Panama Canal, on our 2018 West Bound Panama Canal Cruise on the Disney Wonder.

I LOVE these papers from the Graphic 45's Lost in Paradise Collection - I used 2 of the same papers for the base page - fussy cutting some of the birds out, inked the edges and then pop dotted them over the base page to give it a 3D look.

I also highlighted some of the birds and leaves with Wink of Stella and Nuvo Glitter Markers.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you and your family are doing well during these crazy times, and that we can one day go on vacations again!
