Nic Howard had some pretty special photos after her recent trip to South Africa. Choosing to make the most of the real estate that a double layout offers, Nic enlarged her favourite photo to 8 x 12" and spanned it across her page. Three smaller photos create a visual triangle across the page while bordering each side of some lengthy journaling. Nic chose Cosmo Cricket's Circa 1934 as her main source of papers and embellishments, although if you look closely you will also see touches of Webster's Wonderfall and some older Pink Paislee and Sassafras Lass as well.
When Sue thinks of travel pages, she often thinks of the colour scheme of orange, green and blue. For some reason, travel photos always seem to work well with this palette. Although Sue and her family don't do a lot of traveling, they do fly home to Mackay occasionally to see their families. On this occasion, Sue and her husband Jade, surprised their kids by not telling them where they were going until they were in the airport.
It was the first time they had flown together as a family. Luckily Sue has a few photos to remember the occasion. Sue used papers and embellishments from Little Yellow Bicycle for her layout and added in the beautiful gold rub-ons from Hambly and the cute tags from 7 Gypsies.
Kathie and her husband spent a week in Paris at the end of a European vacation in 2002. The memories are still fresh, even though it was almost ten years ago. In this layout Kathie’s showcased some of the photos from that week and accompanied them with Parisian style page elements.
Kathie set out with a different plan for this layout, but then a piece of Webster’s Pages Life Portrait ribbon fell out of her stash and set the design on a whole new path. The Twiddleybitz Nero Flourish reminds Kathie of the wrought iron window and fence treatments that are so predominant on Parisian architecture. The 7gypsies Avignon stamps were perfect for the introduction of some French text and embellishments.
Kathie kept the page design simple and made sure to leave loads of room to journal about her Parisian stay.
