I really like the rounded corners

Bug: You reminded me that I don't use my corner rounder much anymore. The page design is perfect for it. Love the little waves at the bottom. TURTLES RULE!

This is fantastic. We are in Cancun right now and every morning we help dig up the baby sea turtles as they hatch to release into the ocean in the evening. If they go to the beach in the day the birds get nearly all of them so they are kept in a holding area until after dark.

ISLA GAIA

ISLA GAIA - May 1, 2010 - South Padre Island, Texas

JOURNALING: Isla Gaia, a female nesting Kemp's Ridley sea turtle was released with a satellite tracker attachment to monitor her movements. We watched her release from Isla Blanca beach.

SUPPLIES USED: Roam papers by K&Co, Happy Trails borders by K&Company, corner rounder by EK Success,

TECHNIQUE TIP: OK, so I broke my own rule about having white edges exposed on my photographs. Here I actually decided to make the white edges stand out on my photos by taking a piece of sandpaper from my wonderful hubby's toolbox and sanding the edges of my photos to leave a nice textured white edge that helps them stand out from the beige background that I chose to mat them on. This technique works well when you have mostly dark photos such as I have here to give an added separation from the background without adding paper and bulk with matting.
