A Prickly Subject

My last stop of the day was the western side of Saguaro National Park. This park is split into 2 sections and as I was nearing the end of the day I could only  visit one. After watching the park movie I drove along a nature trail. It got a little scary as I was in a rental car and the road turned to dirt about halfway through! But I got to see all stages of saguaro life.

The borders on this layout have been in my stash for a while. The paper and stickers come from an older CM kit called Cabana. I liked the southwest feel to the paper colors and the stickers of a camera and car fit the details of my visit nicely. The matching journal box was made at the same time as the borders. I added a little collection of cactus and coyote stickers and a couple of peekaboo pockets to get all the photos into the layout.

Below is a close-up of the left page peekaboo pockets. I used one to partially cover the unigrid, though I trimmed the photo to allow the title to show through.

Below is the right side close-up of the peekaboo pockets.

By using peekaboo pockets I could show the great variety of cacti without having to create a second layout. This will keep my album to a much more manageable size.
