New 52 - Week 3 or 4

Is it week 3 or 4?  Whose counting anyway?  I'm having way too much fun doing New52.  Since most of my time doing NEW things are on the weekends, this seems to be turning into more of a year of weekends.  So what was NEW this weekend?  First of all, we went to a NEW beach on Saturday.  Tate has been here before but it was a first for Bostyn and I.  We went to Kaiona Beach Park in Waimanalo.  It was perfect, calm, clear, blue waters that make you wish you could daydream your day away there.  The only thing that made us head home early was the weather.  It was a bit on the chilly side for swimming in the waters.  Here are a few photos.

Don't you love a great baby butt shot?  If you haven't noticed, I do.

And a layout from this day for Oscraps Creative Techniques Challenge.

On Sunday, we went to Bishop Museum.  We only spent time in the NEWly renovated Hawaiian Hall.  Tate and I haven't been there since we were in grade school.  We thought it would be great place to explore for the day.  There is so much that I could share with you about Hawaiian history, art, and culture, but that would be a really long post.  For now, here is a view of the interior of the Hawaiian Hall and a beautiful shell lei that was once wore by Queen Kapiolani.

Now for some NEW layouts:

Fei-fei's Stuff is in the spotlight!  For one, you have to use patterned paper as your background and create a double pager.  Those are both challenges to me.  As you can see, I almost always use a solid paper as a background and it is always one sided.  However, I loved how this came out.

Off to create more layouts since Bostyn is napping the afternoon away.
