Scrappy pages continues with more from Saguaro NP

 

There is an east and west side to the park on different sides

of town which allows for different

plants and species.

Also some exciting roads getting too and fro in the park.

 

Above and below was when we hung out and had

lunch at Jerome which is a totally cool

place to go. Also taking back roads and hanging on

Route 66 - so many things from yesteryear.

 

We also took the long - short cut to the Grand

Canyon. As we've been there 3 or 4 times - first time

for me on our honeymoon 💗

and it never fails to be it's beautiful self.

Not too much journaling on the canyon 

but I did get chatty 

about the drive over.

I also found I liked the pamphlets going that

direction, however, I'm afraid there may be some

inconsistencies. LOL.

 

Scrappy pages in my 6x8 album

 

Actually, all the parks have pamphlets of some sort

and it tells so much more than I would

wanna chat about in the journaling

which as you can see not.real.chatty.

 

 

 Then there's OMGEE put stuff on the photos.

I like to think I was over that a long 

time ago, but alas, I don't really mean it LOL,

 

So just to keep things steady on in my mind

for these photos I didn't add too

much embellies.

I did flip the pamphlet only because I punched

the holes on the wrong end but

found I love it because it sort of encompasses the 2 pages.

 

I do have to say, that the 3x4 page pockets

also present a challenge.

The majority - and I mean majority of my photos

are landscape.

Had to do some tricky photoshop although

I do admit that cactus are perfect for portrait.

I'm getting better.

 

 

Scrapping in my new 6x8 album w/page protectors

I'm really excited to start this album. 

It works perfect in my space and gives me a break from

Travelers notebooks.

I love them - but I want something more to

protect my photos.

They have several different protectors

which is a challenge for me.

Sure, I could get just 6x8 but where's the fun in that.

So you may be aware of this first page as in the challenge

my friend Brooke and I were challenging

each other with sketches and embellishments.

We did four and are on the blog.

This is a 2 pager in which the 2nd page is behind

this one. 

Don't ask....

because they're glued together.

😐

 

 

So I love collecting ephemera and the National Parks

are quite generous with it.

If you're a senior- buy the National Park pass

we get into each and every one free.

Just sayin....

 

I also buy NP ephemera - they are totally getting with it

now and have a bunch of really cool stickers and patches and

they have a date stamp (for the passports). 

Love how it's turning out.
