I have used this technique before and I think it is especially useful here. I took one piece of 12x12 paper and cut it in half vertically. I mounted each to the outside edges of the two pages and then used the inside area for mounting photos, journaling and memorabilia. The journal box is one of the pieces from the Eastern National scrapbook kit, and was the epitome of this layout! The remaining blank spaces were filled with some random Civil War stickers from other packs.
Also at Shiloh is a national cemetery, very similar to Arlington. I didn't explore too far, but did find a few notable headstones. I also completed a scavenger hunt so that I could earn the Civil War trading cards. This one seemed to fit the page so I added it with photo corners.
This layout is another in the stash-busting course I am taking (the February edition). Again, I cannot post the actual sketch, but the paper cutting uses one entire sheet of 12x12 paper. I actually used remnants from 3 different papers from the retired CM Archivers pack. I hope they bring something similar back as the papers are very useful for my travels. The top left corner is another vine sticker. I tore it in half and layered it into the corner to get the angle. The fence is a single punch from a border maker. I wanted to fill the gap under the title and took inspiration from the iron gates to the cemetery.
