When do Stampers not Stamp?

The last day of our Poconos getaway was a return to the Delaware Water Gap. This time we are heading for a local waterfall. On the way, we stopped at the visitor center/administration building. Unfortunately, with COVID and staffing issues, the building was not open. Instead, they placed a table outside with pre-stamped copies of passport stamps and the most requested brochures. I picked up almost all of the stamps that the database said should be there. Have you ever had to use a pre-stamped image? Were you afraid that all of them would be gone by the time you arrived?

This layout is based on one of the CM Virtual Crop sketches from October 2025. Scroll to Sketch #2. I chose some papers from the Shades of Golden Harvest paper pack. The cardstock base is Autumn Hay shimmer. That creates a soft glow in the back. White would have been too stark. The papers are cut to the same width, but to different lengths, so you get a symmetrical pattern across the page. The sketch called for 3 photos, but I chose to use the longer mat for the Unigrid. I used a coordinating vellum for the mats, also punching a leaf border to match the mat. The blue mat picks up the color in my sweatsuit, while the orange/red mat coordinates with the orange papers. A few stickers from my stash provided the titles and leaves.
