I like how you used the perfect patterned papers separated w a dark blue solid one. that umbrella elle in the center looks so good and I really like the string on the side, too. That tabbed journal card is so awesomely embellished and fonted (ha, new glee word.) When I first saw this, I assumed it was your spin on the template, then was surprised to see it was for the font challenge. I do not know where Aromanches is, but it looks so charming, even in the rain!!
I love this layout and the collection of the different elements and the way they come together with the pictures to tell a story. I love the journal box as well.
