The Gang's All Here

Welcome back to the 2021 NPTC convention and to our Friday Night Picnic! The bus tour ended with a stop at Glen Echo Park. It is one of the portions of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, and is a great destination. It was a leisure destination for Washington, DC, during the early 20th century, and it still has some ways to relax. The historic carousel is here, and you'll see that in a future post. We used the pavilion to host our Friday night picnic (a tradition for many years now). One of the rangers shared some information about the park, and we had plenty of time to catch up with our friends. I have photos with some of my favorites — many of whom I hadn't seen in years!



This layout is based on a Club Scrap free sketch. They post the sizes and cutting guides, making it easier to assemble. The papers came from an old CM patriotic pack. I liked the vibrancy of the designs. You can mix patterns by using a large, medium, and small one, so it doesn't feel too overwhelming. I started using dark blue gingham paper for mats, but that proved overwhelming, so I switched to navy cardstock, which helped create a clear distinction between the photos and the prints. A few stickers from the stash, and the page was done!
