Hello there,
Today you find me over on The Mad Scrapper Blog with another layout from my holiday in the USA.
This layout shows us at the scrapbooking show held in the area I was staying at Puyallup. I have used papers available from Janine along with snippets of the show guide and cool phrases off a sheet of paper I bought there (you will see them popping up in any more layouts I share!) a full list can be found below.
I have kept this half sheet of Kaisercraft Crafternoon paper for some years and I just new I wanted to use it here, I pulled the pale green to use as my boarder but not before I gutted out a portion from the left to use as mats. I also used a half sheet of Summer Porch take flight paper to which I added distress ink through the tapestry stencil as I thought it looked a little like the pattern on my top. I also added the merchandise strip off Plum Grove - blossom with added stitching on it to hide the gaps where the papers were joined.
This photo shows us arriving at the show all excited to get in we were ten minutes after the doors opened! This is Karen and myself looking all fresh. You can see I've added a skinny strip of the merchandising strip off take flight because it was in red, white and blue.
I printed my journaling to make sure I could get plenty down.
This is Alyson and myself at the end, we'd been there for 7 hours! I think if someone could they'd have come back again tomorrow (Karen). Our bags were full of some excellent goodies
Here is my stash, they wouldn't take photo's of theirs because it was twice the size of mine lol. The phrase is off the merchandise strip off the crafternoon paper I thought it was quite apt. Lots of vendors gave away badges to keep or fridge magnets one even gave away a decent tote bag.
Once we got back to Alyson's we opened a bottle of wine along with chips n dips and sat in the sun. Then it was time to go in and check out or stashes. Such a wonderful day I just had to preserve it on a layout.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I've inspired you to get down your memories on a page along with memorabilia you've saved of the day. Do call in to see Janine for papers to go with your event if not then go online to The Mad Scrapper and see her full selection there.
Sue.
