Once again I have a gate fold layout. Here's a close up of the first page:
The title strip is from a purchased scrapbook kit - as is the map sticker on the lower left. The National Park emblem embellishments are taken from the entrance sign, printed the size I wanted & fussy cut. A couple scrap strips form a bit of a border for the picture of the entrance sign itself.
Page 2:
Once again I made use of pictures of the signs to help label my pictures. The sticker in the lower right corner is from a purchased scrapbook kit. For some reason, I liked the look of changing up which edge was scalloped on the border strip.
Gate Fold Opened:
Close up of each page in the opened layout:
More of the same - using a picture of a sign as a picture descriptor.
I thought the rough boards of this background paper went well with the rustic nature of the subject matter. I found I didn't like the layout, however, until I did several things: 1) used distress ink to ink the paper doily so it wasn't stark white, 2) ditto the picture of the "Transcript" sign, 3) added a bit of a darker scrap behind the sticker in the upper right to help it stand out from the doily.
