A Night to Remember

Today, we continue with the NPTC 2021 convention. On Sunday morning, I arranged a tour of Ford's Theater. Although I had been here once before, the only ticket I could obtain then was for a staged play in the theater (the theater still puts on productions throughout the year). For my 2021 visit, I arranged a tour that included a visit to the museum and a look at the Lincoln Box. 



I chose to organize the photos not so much by when I saw them on the tour, but based on the timeline of the evening. This layout sets the stage by showing the theater, a pair of tickets from that evening's performance (although it is unclear whether they belonged to the Lincolns), and items that would have been part of the evening, such as opera glasses and fans. 

The layout is based on the CM Project Recipe for the Fresh Fusion collection. The use of such dark papers for a recipe layout that was bright and cheery is a little incongruous, but I chose it for the photo array, not the paper colors. The papers are from the Paper Loft collection. Their heritage pack includes some brown and gray tones with wonderful old-time patterns. One pattern features ivory with vines, providing some contrast in the two-layered borders (made with the CM Border Maker System).
