Pretty in Pink

 The last stop on the Ranger Tour was the Jefferson Memorial. I found it difficult to get a decent picture of the statue because there is little light coming in. As you can see in the left photo it was a bit of a cloudy day, and while that's normally great for photography, not when the statue in question is under a dome with narrow spaces between the columns. The ranger went so quickly from monument to monument that I did not have time to gather stamps on the way. After the tour was over I retraced my steps back through the tidal basin so I could get the stamps at all the gift shops. That made for a LOT of walking (over 20,000 steps on my pedometer!) Luckily I could hop on a red bus to take me to Union Station for my trip home.

This layout is from a pajama party layout. I chose to use pink for the Cherry Blossoms on the unigrid, even though it clearly was NOT Cherry Blossom time along the tidal basin. I don't get much chance to use pink paper so it was a nice way to dig into my stash. The 2 pink background papers are from the Blend and Bloom pink pack. I used aqua as the accent color. The class taught us how to make the borders to divide up the page. I wish I had lowered the left border a little so that it was more in line with the strip under the statue. I added some of the smaller stickers from my DC stash that either highlighted the Jefferson Memorial or Cherry Blossoms. The small sticker on the bottom left of the journal box was fading into the background so I mounted it on a spare piece of aqua.
