Welcome back to my March 2022 trip to New York. The event that spurred the NPTC Meetup was the 200th anniversary of Harriet Tubman's birth. Born enslaved, she has no record of her birthday, but most historians agree it was in March. The NPS picked the 12th for the event, with music, speeches, and even specially decorated cookies (which were quite tasty). Most important for us at the NPTC, a special stamp was created. You can see Allan getting one of the first impressions of it in his passport!
This layout is based on a CM Advisor Instructional pamphlet from 2023. I have a pin of the front page saved here, but you can also email me if you would like a PDF copy. Since we were celebrating a birthday, I grabbed my birthday stash and looked for an appropriate collection. I chose a Fast-to-Fabulous paper pack that was originally meant to celebrate New Year's. The sketch called for 4 paper strips measuring 1 1/2". The pre-printed paper had a brown, blue, and green print measuring 1 1/2"! I just needed to find a touch of coordinating paper to make the other 2 strips, which I found in the Candlelight paper pack. I used the reverse for the right side of the layout. Because Shutterfly cuts their photos just a tad under 6" wide, I used a border sticker to cover the gap between the 3 photos and the paper. It also brought a little of the brown into the right page. A little more brown came from an old journal mat that I trimmed to 4" wide.
