National Parks Scrapbook Part 1

During our travels this past week, we stopped at a scrapbooking store and found this wonderful map of the national parks on a scrapbook page.  It's perfect for the national park scrapbook that I'm working on!  It was a double sided page, so to the back of it I added an alphabetical listing of the national parks.  This listing shows which we've been to, and what page the park is on if we've been to it (since I'm adding park pages in chronological order based on when we visited).  Here's what that looks like:

I designed the page so it should be pretty easy to print an updated page when we've made another national parks trip.

Page #3:

We made the decision to not include parks we've visited separately as children, but only those we've been to as a couple.  Crater Lake is the first of those.  I had picked up this Oregon page a long time ago, and decided it made a great backdrop for my Crater Lake pictures.

Page #4:

This page is pretty simple, but I used a technique I'd never tried before and I like it (though it was hard to do without two people).  I took my crimper, and ran each corner of the page through it, creating the wavy impressions you see in each corner.  It definitely increases the interest on the page, even though it's a simple thing.

As you can see from this second picture, I decided the page was a bit too plain, so added just a few sticker words to it.  I think it's a definite improvement.

Here we have 4 of my own pictures, 3 purchased stickers, some cutouts, and my journaling.  Can you tell which are the stickers?  (The stickers are the three in the center "column" - two of which I matted on brown).  Not a lot to say about it..  The background paper was from HOTP.  The stickers were from Zion's gift shop.  The title & subtitle were from a scrapbook set purchased at another national park.
