Today I've got a couple of more pages from Bruges.
Page #1 (above): This first one is pretty straight forward. I took my cues from the bright yellow walls in the focal photo. I used yellow patterned paper background (old HOTP), and printed pictures, journaling & title (using Microsoft Word). The unique thing on this page is the small lace motif on the blue background. I didn't want to put glue on the lace, figuring that over time it would discolor the lace. SO, I took a piece of blue card stock, matted on white to look like the others. I set the lace piece on that and slid the whole into a small ziplock plastic bag. Then I folded the top of the bag to the back and glued the bag in place. Now, if I want to get to the lace, I might destroy the bag, but the lace should be safe (hopefully the bag is acid free!)
Page #2:
For this page, I had a few miscellaneous pictures that I wanted to include in my album, but didn't want to devote an entire page to each - I'll already have 88 pages when I'm done - that's PLENTY! So, I started looking at the photos and realized they fell into 4 different themes. That inspired me to divide the page into 4 sections - one for each. I used red ribbon to divide the page - and made a circular title piece that sits on top of where they cross. I printed the pictures & journaling, but all the little titles were die cut with some of my alphabet dies. What a chore! Anyway, I like the way the page turned out. Since the page sits beside the first one in this post, I decided to start with a similar background paper - in blue this time.
