Hey there!
It's time for another challenge!
"Child's Play Challenges" is bringing you inspiration via the game "Risk":
I was inspired by the maps on the game board. It made me want to create a travel page.
But what trip should I scrap? Hmmm...well I never scrapped any of the pictures from the first cruise David and I ever took so that's what I did here. I also included a picture of a map that includes the places we went.
"Our First Cruise"
Journaling: "Our first cruise ever: Cabo, Matzatlan, & Puerto Vallarta"
(The date is printed on the bottom of the picture of David and I - September 30th thru October 7th, 2006)
I scanned one of the 8x10 pictures we bought on the cruise and shrunk it down to 4x6. I printed it so that it didn't fit the whole 4x6 area of my photo paper because if I had made it fit, it would have cut some of the picture off. This caused a lot of white space on the sides so I cut that part off....making my 4x6 not actually a 4x6 any longer. The map of Mexico was an image I found online and printed on photo paper.
BTW - that BG paper has been in my
stash for at least 10 years!
As I was scrapping this picture, I had a weird feeling come over me... not sure how to describe it exactly. All I know is I kept thinking, "Man, a lot has changed since then!" I have not only changed in appearance, but the person I was 7 years ago is definitely not the same person I am today! Not even close! I have been through a lot in 7 years, good and bad, but I am happy to say I like who I am today! I even think I look a lot better now than I did back then! LOL!
Okay, you know what comes now: stop by the CPC blog and share your inspired creation. You have until October 31st!
Loveeeeeeeeeee this!! LOVING the colors and that map paper!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really love this layout!!! You did a great job, and that pic is wonderful!! :)
ReplyDeleteIncluding the map was such a good idea! It looks great. I hear you about things being so different 7 years ago. That would make a fun then-and-now layout.
