50-states Album--Arkansas

Before we continue with my chronological National Park visits, I wanted to spend a few weeks revisiting some of the pages in my 50-States album. I added photos over the last year for most of these, but I forgot to show you what I made. The first page is Arkansas. I visited this state for the first time in July 2025, when Hot Springs National Park hosted the NPTC convention. In addition to the park photo, I included a shot of the state sign that I saw crossing a bridge into the state. Don't tell my mother that I took that while driving 😊. The final photo is of the state Capitol building. 



You'll remember that I created the pages for this album several years ago. It's nice to complete a page quickly by adding the photos. It literally takes minutes to finish a page! I based this page on a pin I saved from the Scrapbook.com gallery. You can see the original here. I created the flowers and the Arkansas flag on the Cricut. The flag was surprisingly easy to create, even with some tiny letters and stars. The small branches above are supposed to be the Arkansas state flower (Apple Blossoms). I think they look a little more like cherry blossoms, but the end result worked!
