SUBWAY and WASHINGTON DC

Hello!

Yay!  A double page layout completed! I am a HAPPY scrapper!  On Sunday, I was thrilled to have an online cropper with Sharlene!  I have not been scrapping for a while!  It was good to be able to hit my scrapping table again! 

 

 

 

 

Based on the challenge from CSI Case File #79, when I saw the colours, I decided to hit the pictures from our Washington DC trip in May 2011.  I knew I have purchased several "AMERICAN" themed papers when I was down at the Archivers store with Sharlene.  It was GOOD to be able to do the Washington DC trip pictures... I have MANY more pictures so this is just a beginning of several more pages to come!

Colours: I used all.

Evidence: pom pom trim, flourish, metal, sripes, polka dots, ribbons

Testimony: 4 Reasons and add pom pom trim to the spot (journal)

 



I used Laura Whitaker's sketch at ScrapMuch?.  I am sure you can see that I followed the layout design but did not follow the picture size.  I decided to go for 2x3 picture size as I have many and I wanted to include them so I had to make some modification to the layout so I tried my best following Laura's sketch as much as I can.  I also substituted one picture square for a journal.  My title obviously is much longer!

 

 

To Use a Negative in Paper was Two Scrapbook Friends' July Crafty Challenge,  I have created two of them.  One for each page.  Here are the close ups. 
 

Sharlene's individual thrown challenge was to have a title diecut.  I was fortunate to find the word "SUBWAY" from the Cricut "Going Places".  I decided to go for negative cut with her challenge. 

 

 

I used the Cricut "Base Camp" to cut  "Washington DC" and was pleased with how it looked.  I would place it at a different place but since I wanted to follow Laura's sketch as much as I can so I decided to place it in the middle as shown in her sketch.  A long title, I know!
