It's bonus post time! I'm playing along with Lasting Memories again so here's an additional layout for this weekend! (And there may be more to come!) This layout starts a tour I took along the Green in Dover which is part of the First State National Historical Park. The stamps, you may recall from this post, are inside the Old Dover State House and the staff there will tell you that touring that building in no way counts as visiting the National Park Unit. So I planned my visit to take advantage of a guided walk along the Green. One of the first stops was King George's Tavern, a gathering spot for discontented colonials who debated the need to break with England. Eventually, this was also the site where Delaware ratified the Constitution making it the First State of the Union (and ultimately naming the National Park Unit!)
This layout was made to fulfill the Lasting Memories Challenge #658 "Sharing is Caring". The instructions are to scraplift one of the design team's previous layouts. I chose this layout from Cheryl Evans. I used her sketch but did make a couple of modifications given my photos. I also used 2 different papers for the "A" and "B" pieces on her layout. There were some gaps at the corners and as I was hunting embellishments I found 3 die-cuts from a CM Heritage kit from many years ago. The black cardstock provided a nice tie-in across the 2 pages though and I think it was a great finishing touch. The background cardstock is Avocado (yes, the 70s have returned!) which is new from CM (I just got my supply this week). I added some Graphic 45 papers from the Olde Curiosity Shoppe as components A and B as well as the embellishments. It came together fairly quickly!
Connie, you visit so many cool historic places! Love the layout (your patterned papers are perfect for the photos), and I am so honored you chose to scraplift me. Thanks for playing along with Lasting Memories July challenges!
ReplyDeleteFabulous layout! Lots of great photos and details! Thanks for sharing with us at Lasting Memories Layout Challenges!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, I love see your layouts for all the parks. Question for the park brucheres do you have extras of them or do you use the ones you get at the parks. See you next month.
ReplyDeleteHi Shayne! Yes I will see you very soon! As for the unigrids--this is my way of saving them. I don't keep them once I scrapbook the page. On occasion I have 2 copies (either I went to the park multiple times in the same year or my husband picked up an extra). Those go with me to convention to share or to go in the NPTC Unigrid Clearinghouse.
