The photos below are from the Titanic Memorial in Washington DC. (Does anyone else think James Cameron visited here before having Jack perch on the rail?) The memorial was created by women's groups shortly after the sinking to commemorate the men who lost their lives by giving up space in the lifeboats to women and children. I visited on the anniversary of the disaster. This is one of those times belonging to the National Park Travelers Club helped me with a visit. I not only never knew this monument existed until someone posted about it, but found out that the stamp was hanging from the wayside board! It was only hanging there for the weekend. You can still get that stamp at the Eisenhower Memorial in DC now.
This layout is a 1-2-3 sketch from Noreen Smith. As part of the rules of the group I cannot show the original sketch or directions but you can see my finished project. This was made during one of my weekend classes with my customers so please let me know if you wish to join a future class. The paper is, appropriately enough, called Deep Blue. I've used it before but had these 3 pages remaining (the 2 background pages are also from that pack). I think the gray stripe contrasts with the rest of the blue nicely and there is a great nautical feel from the borders added on top of the striped strips. I broke out some navy sticker letters for a title. It must have been a new pack as I didn't have to fudge any of the vowels. Just a couple of other stickers in the corners of the page and the layout was complete. We did 4 layouts in less than 2 hours that morning!
