First Day in Holland - Part 2

In addition to all the windmills, Zaanse Schans had several museums.  These pages cover the rest of our time in the Zaanse Schans region.  

Page #1 (above): The background paper seemed quite appropriate as it was an old HOTP sheet with clock faces all over it.  I also added some transparency clock faces with brads & "hands" from my stash.

Page #2: 

Next up is the Weaver's House - showing what living and weaving was like in the 17th century.  The background is a dual-sided piece of card stock that I sliced in half and flipped so each half showed one side of the card stock.  As you can see, I created a punched white lacy border to run along where they joined.  The blue has information about living conditions, while the black relates to the weaving process.

Pull-Tab Pocket:

This page has a pocket behind it where you can pull out a sheet with more information about life & work in the weaver's house.

Here, in addition to adding the wood-like paper as a mat for the pictures, I used a picture of a sign for the title/journaling, and some misc mini metal tools from my stash for embellishments.

Page 4:

This is another gate fold page. I simply sliced the background paper in half to make the two pieces.  I also added some Scrapbooking Dazzles (from HOTP) that seemed appropriate embellishments for the bakery museum.

Pages 5 & 6 (inside the gate fold):

Close-up of center:

All work for this page was done on the computer - printing pictures as the grids of pictures you see here - and printing the title & journaling pieces.  Gluing all to a plain black background worked well.

Outside Panels:

The left-hand page was created using half a sheet of patterned paper from my stash.  As you can see, I matted the photos on a glossy brown paper (Shine Design paper from HOTP).  The right-hand page used half a small plaid background paper in colors that coordinated.  Embellishments are from my stash.

Pages 7 & 8:

Close up of Page 7:

You may notice that this page uses the remaining half sheet from the previous page.  In this case, I used a paper trimmer to cut a fancy edge - putting the narrow cut off piece along the right side.  The title is an enlargement of the signage on the picture of the museum itself.

Close up of Page 8:

As on page 2, I cut this page on the diagonal and added a white punched lace strip.  This time, the diagonal was not corner to corner, and the two pieces are NOT from the same paper.
