I am continuing to work in my metal covered mini album that I made a couple of months ago. I still have lots of blank pages to work in, and like I said before, Altered Pages is my go to store for dressing up my mini album pages.
My first page spread: Background papers are from the Glitz Designs Pretty in Pink paper pad. I used the Brighton Beach and Vintage Vacations collage images, layered onto slightly larger cream card stock. I also used the "Miami Beach" image from the USA States Florida collage sheet.
I inked two chipboard scroll corners with Memento Luxe Rhubarb Stalk and heat embossed with clear embossing powder, adding tiny pearl stickers. For filler, I added a few of the roses from the Valentine Stickers sheet, and a few flowers punched from scraps of the print paper.

I cut a piece of paper from the Uncharted Waters paper to fit the front of the envelope, and used my Ranger Blending Tool to distress the edges of the paper with the Leather inx.

For a shadow effect and to make each collage image pop, I added charcoal pencil around the edges and smudged it with a Blending stump.

I layered the Brighton Beach collage images onto slightly larger cream card stock and adhered to page, as shown.
I adhered the banner from the Yours Truly What-Nots Embellishment Collection across the top of the page, as shown. I used foam dots to lift them off the page.
I used a coin envelope and punched a thumb notch in the top of it, then added one of the Brighton Beach collage images that I distressed with Leather Inx and Ranger Blending Tool.

I used the Seashell Mold and Paperclay to make this selection of shells, sand dollars, etc. When dry, I painted each piece with Twinkling H20s and adhered onto and around my cheesecloth.
For the tag insert, I used a TREASURES Bingo Card and left the back blank to journal onto. I thought that whenever I go to the beach, I find all sorts of treasures, like these shells and such I have added.
