Inspired by the Sun

 I finally got around to making my tag journal for last week when I was on The Big Island. 

 I took along the same KONA journal I made for my trip there last year, adding in more blank pages.

 I spent a little time most days making entries for each day, so I could look it over during the year and remember this wonderful week.  I usually did this on the lanaii overlooking the ocean where we spotted dolphins 1 day and migrating whales a couple of times.  I know, I know...Paradise.

I also was inspired to make another little remembrance of Kona, 'cause really, I am just cuckoo for Kona.  I neglected to buy Hawaiian sea salt, Kona coffee and Honey Roasted Macadamia Nuts to bring home.  MUST GO BACK. 

For the little Kona remembrance I wanted to use the new honeycomb paper that I learned about from Tim Holtz's February Tag.  I ordered the paper before I left, so it was waiting for me when I returned home.  And I used some of the lettering styles I'm learning from Teresa in Letter Whimsy II.  The "pointillist" style she taught us looked to me like sand sprinkled on a page.
