I cannot believe it was almost two years ago that I was in Malta. It feels like it was just a few months ago. I truly feel in love with these two islands and would love to go back some day.
I chose to scrapbook two of my Malta photos for this weekend's Pick Five challenge:
- Masculine theme
- Gears
- Pattern papers (at least two)
- Banner
- Two word title
I started by choosing my photos first and once those were printed I chose the Garden Green 12x12 page base to match the green color in the water. I knew that I wanted to choose patterned paper that had Night of Navy in them - to match to the water in the photos and act as a nice compliment to Garden Green.
My paper choices came from the In Good Taste pack...
...and a retired strip I had left over from last year's catalog. It is important to use up what is lying around, right?
I decided that the Garden Green page base was too plain and thought it would be fun to stamp, using Versamark, the large sailboat from the Sailing Home stamp set. I really like how the stamped images look.
But then those gears.....hmmmm. Until I remembered that the Smooth Sailing dies have a 'steering wheel' in the pack and it looks close to a gear - so I chose to die-cut 5 wheels to add to my page.
I did a bit of a cheat for the title - I trimmed down one of the World of Good cards because I thought it would be fun as a title - yes it it three words but close enough.
The final element - banner - I created three - two small ones (can you spot them?) and one larger one that I used to note where the photos came from and what year. That's when I got a shock that this fun trip happened two years ago! Wow how time flies.
Here's my page!
Now it's your turn - try this Pick Five challenge to make a card or a scrapbook page. You just might love how it turns out too!
