This page documents all of those places close to home that we visit all the time (or at least once a year). I love to mix up photos from different places and times like this. I think they make for interesting pages.
For a look at how I created the page, take a peek at the video. Oh, and try not to cringe when I use an entire sheet of October Afternoon paper for the 2" border at the bottom. I've actually gotten emails expressing outrage over the waste! This confirmed paper hoarder was just trying to use one of the 5 sheets I've collected along the way. Ha! By all means, cut a 2" inch strip and create your page on a white cardstock background. I do that all the time.
I'd also like to take a moment to announce the winners for some of my previous give-aways. Sorry I got so behind in blogging that I forgot to pick these earlier!

ReplyDeleteOh this is cute!! I love your pages. So inspiring. And hey.. if you want to use a whole sheet of patt. paper.. so be it. :) Your stash and your money. Kind of nice to use it up. :)

ReplyDeleteLove this layout! Fun idea to use the twine and brads. Congratulations to the winners too!
ReplyDeleteYou've shown just a few of the reasons that I love living in NJ. There is always so much to see and do here. Love your map idea!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that people were actually angry about this. I was personally appalled by the thread on two peas calling you out for this. Come on people.... You scrap your way and I will scrap mine. If you paid for the product (or had it provided for you) then the product belongs to you and so does the inspiration and creativity. I just shake my head at people actually thinking they have the right to be outraged at your design choice. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic travel layout, Nancy! Love the map idea. My creative wheels are turning . . .
